Cheating edit

Latest comment: 4 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

The article picks Ben Johnson as a cheater, but it also mentions that there were more cheaters. IMO the article should expand on that controversy, because while I am not going to defend Ben, I think it is massively one-sided how the article is worded right now. It also is at odds with other entries about athletes who were caught cheating too, not just in that race, but in general. In the long run I recommend for the article to be a bit more objective, focusing on facts - it is fine to make it an assessment of THAT time, but if 6 more were cheaters but only 1 or 2 are mentioned, then the article suggest an incorrect picture. Right now it says mostly that only Ben was a cheat, and this is simply factually NOT correct. It also explains why the fourth placed guy (or third placed, after Ben was DQed) said that he should be the winner. It already implies here that he knows that the two guys before him CHEATEd - and he is right. 2A02:8388:1641:8380:1535:595B:9280:DF61 (talk) 16:48, 4 April 2020 (UTC)Reply
