Ben Johnson, the disgraced former sprinter who was banned from competition in 1993 for using steroids, said athletics is fortunate to have Usain Bolt but the sport lacks the kind of rivalries that marked his time in the spotlight.
Johnson, who waged a memorable rivalry with American Carl Lewis during his prime, said Olympic and world champion Bolt is capable of running even farther away from the pack and could lower his 100 meters world record of 9.58 seconds to 9.4.
“Track and field has not the excitement like there used to be anymore. The excitement is gone,” Johnson told Reuters in Harlem on Thursday after participating in a sports symposium.
“We know Bolt is going to win all the time.”
Bolt has electrified the sprint scene since setting the 100 metres world record two years ago in New York, registering an Olympic and world record triple in the 100, 200 and 4×100 relay at the 2008 Olympics, and lowering the current 100m standard at last year’s world championships in Berlin.
Johnson was clocked at a world record 9.79 seconds when he beat Lewis for gold at the 1988 Seoul Olympics before he tested positive for steroids at the Games and had his medal and record stripped away in a startling plunge from prominence.
“Carl Lewis and I were a big rivalry,” Johnson, 48, said.
“We didn’t like each other. But Carl Lewis brought the best out in me and I brought the best out in Carl Lewis. Carl Lewis and Ben Johnson was like Muhammad Ali and Joe Frazier back in the ’70s boxing.”
Johnson, banned from competing for life in 1993 after a second positive doping test, now helps train young sprinters in Toronto. The Jamaican-born Johnson does not attend top track events but said he noticed that Bolt has room to improve.
“From what I’ve seen on the replays, I think if he can work on the first 10 metres on his start — he doesn’t have to work on the 30 and 40 — just get the reaction, he can run a 9.4.”
Before the symposium on the future of Jamaican athletics, Johnson, still looking fit in a dark dress suit with his familiar shaved head and sad eyes, told a news conference that his autobiography “Seoul to Soul” would reveal new evidence of sabotage related to his positive dope test.
Saying he was “singled out” as a doping cheat and “wrongfully convicted”, Johnson defended his prowess as a sprinter and said his use of steroids only served to allow him to train harder, not to run faster.
“Usain Bolt and I come from different generations,” he said. “When I was running, I was running 9.79 on a slow track. Now technology has changed and he is running 9.5. So things have changed over the years.
“I’m not saying he is not good. He is great. And it’s good for Jamaica and it’s good for all the kids in Jamaica to say I want to be a part of that.”

Liu Xiang, still struggling to rid himself of the injury that has dogged him since the Beijing Olympics, is not even the best high hurdler in China any more on the evidence of Sunday’s Diamond League meeting in Shanghai.
The former 110 metres hurdles Olympic and world champion finished third behind Olympic bronze medallist David Oliver and, even more surprising, his compatriot Shi Dongpeng.
Such is his low level of expectation now, however, that far from being downcast by being so soundly beaten — Oliver ran 12.99 seconds to his 13.40 — the 26-year-old was encouraged by his performance in his home city.
“13.40 is a good time for me now. I was very happy to make that time today,” the 26-year-old told reporters.
“My foot was definitely not right. For me it was quite a challenge. Competition relies on training, systematic, intensive and high quality training. But I have had none.”
This was all a far cry from the days when Liu was in his pomp, winning gold at the 2004 Athens Olympics, setting the then world record of 12.88 seconds in Lausanne in 2006 and taking the world title in Osaka a year later.
His secret was not the devastating power of hulking Americans like Oliver, but the quick feet and sublime technique that allowed him to overhaul the bigger men over the 10 hurdles.
The decline began during messy preparations for what was supposed to be his finest hour, the 2008 Olympics, and such was secrecy that surrounded him, speculation ran wild that he was either mentally or physically damaged.
LONG NECK
The pain etched on his face as he left the Bird’s Nest after failing to start the Aug. 18 heats settled that debate and an Achilles injury took the blame for ending Chinese hopes of watching one of their own winning gold at the arena.
It took six months for a decision to be made that he should undergo surgery on his foot and since then his recovery has been so slow that suspicions have resurfaced about his mental fragility.
“I sometimes feel I am even confused about myself,” Liu added. “Each athlete experiences ups and downs … From being undefeatable to now eventually losing to one after another who I had never lost to, it is tough.
“But I have to deal with it, the mind set.”
Shi was one of those who had never beaten Liu before Sunday night.
“I feel happy for Shi,” Liu told reporters. “Previously he had had many chances to beat me but he just missed out on all of them. It has not been easy for him until now.”
Shi, who ran 13.39 to edge Liu into third, seemed to be quite enjoying the biggest moment of his career.
“I was so exhausted during the final sprint for the line, I beat Liu thanks to my longer neck,” he joked.
Shi, a decent Asian level hurdler, is not about to replace his team mate as Olympic-obsessed China’s great track gold medal hope and Liu seems reconciled to carrying that burden for another couple of years until the 2012 Olympics.
“I feel the London Olympics is a distant story,” he said. “I just need to start with the most trivial things in my training without expecting too much for London. Nothing else.
“But still have confidence in myself. The key thing is to dig out what I have done wrong and correct it.”

London, May 7 (ANI): The US-based Glazer family has reportedly rejected a 1.5 billion bid for Manchester United.
The group of wealthy United fans were understood to be planning a 1.2 billion pound offer for the club this summer.
But news of the Glazers” reluctance to accept a higher offer, believed to be from a Middle East consortium last year, is a massive stumbling block, The Sun reports.
United supporters have shown their discontent for the Glazer regime with their ”green and gold” protests at Old Trafford this season.
Fans are unhappy with the lack on investment in the team, especially after Cristiano Ronaldo”s world record 80-million-pound sale to Real Madrid last year.
Supporters are also worried by the club”s spiralling debts which stand at over 700-million-pounds. (ANI)
London, Apr 30 (ANI): Tennis player Briton Robert Dee, who had filed a legal action against a British newspaper after it described him as the “world”s worst player”, has lost his case.
Twenty-three-year-old Dee argued that the article was ”offensive” and could blight his potential future career as a tennis coach.
“The newspaper argued that its article was not defamatory when read together with another piece in the same edition. The judge in the High Court agreed with the newspaper,” reports Sky News.
The Daily Telegraph maintained it was justified in publishing the story because the articles were not defamatory and true.
“The claimant is a professional player who did indeed lose 54 consecutive matches in tournaments on the international professional circuit during which he did not win one set,” the newspaper said.
“His losses were in tournaments which are under the jurisdiction of the ITF (International Tennis Federation) and the ATP (Association of Tennis Professionals); they are world ranking tournaments and attract world ranking points. His record of consecutive losses was the world record equalling worst-ever run of consecutive losses on the international professional circuit,” it added.
The Judge concluded that Dee could not be justified in his complaint and the facts justified the comment.
Briton Robert Dee, now based in La Manga, took action against the Daily Telegraph over an article written in April 2008. (ANI)
London, April 29(ANI): Italian cooks have whipped up the world”s biggest omelette, measuring six foot wide.
The chefs in Canino used 1,500 eggs, 100 kilos of asparagus and seven litres of olive oil to make the omelette.
Guinness World Records officials measured the width and confirmed it as the world”s biggest omelette.
It was later served to the spectators present.
“It was delicious and it”s quite something to have eaten part of a world record,” the Daily Express quoted the Austrian Times, as saying.
The dish was prepared in a huge pan. (ANI)
Madrid, Apr 29(ANI): Real Madrid winger Cristiano Ronaldo has hinted that he is planning a future away from the Bernabeu.
Ronaldo, who moved to Madrid from Manchester United for a world-record transfer fee of 80 million pounds last summer, insists he will not spend the rest of his career with the club.
“Football is all about cycles. I believe that you are in teams for cycles. I spent several years wanting to play in Madrid, but I don’t see myself here at 40,” The Daily Express quoted Ronaldo, as saying.
His comment surprisingly comes weeks after Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson said that Ronaldo could make a sensational return to Old Trafford.
Talking about his decision to leave United, Ronaldo said: “Alex Ferguson understood my decision. I continue to talk to him.”
The 25-year-old also expressed disappointment over the prospect of ending the season without any silverware.
“It would be a bad year if we don’t win the league because a club like this has to always win something every year,” Ronaldo said.
“Not winning this year wouldn’t be a failure, but it would be a lost year. But I am confident we can win the league,” he added. (ANI)
London, Apr 28(ANI): Don Wales is confident of smashing the lawnmower land speed record next month with his petrol-driven beast.
Codenamed Project Runningblade, Don’s test runs have seen him reach more than 60mph, but he expects to hit 100mph when he pushes his mower to the limit.
The current record belongs to American Bob Cleveland, who has hit 80.7mph.
Talking about his practice run, Don said: “This was the first time I had seen the machine, the first time I had turned the wheel in anger and it went very well.”
“Speed wasn’t the issue. This was a shakedown to make sure everything was working OK,” The Sun quoted Don, as saying.
“We learned a lot about the vehicle and we know what we have to do to get to the record. There”s a month to go before we try for real so there”s plenty of time to get it right,” he added.
The 49-year-old, who will make his run over the weekend of May 22 at Pendine Sands, said the feat he is trying to achieve is dangerous.
“At 60mph it”s just like driving a go-kart. The big challenge will come when we make the jump from 80mph to 100mph. That”s when it gets a little more scary,” he added. (ANI)
Wellington, April 24 (ANI): A Kiwi man has set a new world diving record in the Bahamas by diving 116m without fins.
New Zealand free diver William Trubridge, 29, risked suffering from nitrogen narcosis, which occurs at great depths, and which produces a state similar to being drunk, reports Stuff.co.nz.
Wearing a specially designed silicon-coated wetsuit, Trubridge dived next to a vertical line using a form of breaststroke, in the Vertical Blue competition at Dean’s Blue Hole, Long Island.
He spent 4 minutes 9 seconds under water, surfacing with a tag from the 116m mark.
The free-diving event runs until April 27. (ANI)
Kenyan great Ibrahim Hussein Kipkemboi believes the men’s world record will be broken in Sunday’s London Marathon.
The record of two hours three minutes 59 seconds was set by Ethiopian Haile Gebrselassie in Berlin in September 2008.
“I can comfortably predict a world record in this race,” Hussein told Reuters. “This is the best marathon field in the history of the London Marathon.”
Hussein, 52, became the first African to win the New York Marathon in 1987 before going on to triumph in the Boston equivalent in 1988, 1991 and 1992.
Kenya’s six-man squad includes Olympic and defending London champion Sammy Wanjiru, world marathon champion Abel Kirui and world championship runner-up Emmanuel Mutai.

London, April 17 (ANI): A carpenter from Sussex is eyeing a world record by spending four months in a room with poisonous snakes.
David Jones, 44, from Crawley will take a shot at the risky daredevilry in Johannesburg from April 24. The duration to attempt to break the record will be of 121 days, reports Sky News.
The snakes will include snouted cobras, green and black mambas, deadly puff adders and boomslangs.
He told Five News” Jason Farrell why he”s decided to take the risk.
“I wanted to challenge myself, and I also wanted to raise some money for charity,” he told Five News.
The current world record rests with Martin Smith of South Africa who had spent 113 day with the poisonous snakes in the room.
But Jones differs from Martin a.k.a. Mad Martin as he is a trained snake handler whereas Jones is an amateur. (ANI)

Hamilton (New Zealand), Mar.31 (ANI): Left-arm fast bowler Mitchell Johnson on Wednesday helped Australia to a two-nil series sweep over New Zealand.
Johnson picked up 6-73 from 20.1 overs in New Zealand”s second innings as the Kiwis, chasing a world-record 479 runs to win in the Hamilton Test, were bowled out for 302 at lunch on day five.
Australia won by 176 runs and Johnson claimed match figures of 10-132, the Sydney Morning Herald reports.
For New Zealand, wicket-keeper batsman Brendon McCullum scored 51, hitting nine fours and one six, before Doug Bollinger claimed his wicket caught at gully in the first over with the second new ball.
Bollinger (2-87) struck again when Jeetan Patel (3) was caught at third slip.
Martin Guptill (58) also hit a half-century, falling to a neat catch from Ricky Ponting at second slip as Johnson took his fourth wicket of the innings at 8-273.
Johnson ended the match by removing Brent Arnel for a duck and Tim Southee for an entertaining 45 from 25 balls.
Johnson, 28, claimed the record of left-arm bowler to reach the 150-wicket milestone in the least amount of Tests (34) with his three wickets during yesterday”s fourth day of play.
Johnson was later named man of the match.
“I”ve enjoyed the tour, it has been great. It has been a great summer for the boys. It”s always great to be able to contribute. The batters set the game up for us and we had to work hard as a bowling group,” Johnson was quoted, as saying.
Johnson said he was looking forward to a short break before heading to the West Indies for the Twenty20 World Cup which starts on April 30. (ANI)
Former Pakistan captain Mohammad Yousuf has announced he will quit international cricket in protest against an indefinite ban.
“I received a letter from the PCB (Pakistan Cricket Board) that my staying in the team is harmful for the team, so I announce my retirement from international cricket,” Yousuf announced at the Karachi Press Club.
“I thank the fans around the world, all the senior players and family members for supporting me throughout my 12-year career,” said an emotional Yousuf, dressed in traditional Pakistani dress.
“I always played for my country and if my playing is harmful for the team then I don’t want to play.”
The son of a poor family, Yousuf rose through the ranks of cricket to reach dizzying heights of success.
He played 88 Tests, nine as captain and scored 7,431 runs at an average of 53.07, including 24 centuries.
He also scored 9,624 runs in 282 one-day internationals.
Yousuf was third behind Javed Miandad (8,832 in 124) and Inzamam-ul-Haq (8,829 in 119) in all time run-getters for Pakistan in Tests and second behind Inzamam (11,701 in 375 matches) in one-day cricket.
But his greatest achievement was 1,788 Test runs in 2006 with nine hundreds – the world record for most runs scored and hundreds in a calendar year, beating Viv Richards’ 1976 record of 1,710 for the West Indies.
He also won International Cricket Council Test player of the year in 2007.
Asked if he could rescind his decision, Yousuf said: “at the moment my playing in the team is harmful so I am quitting”.
“If I get time, I would love to play first class cricket and private leagues,” he later added, admitting that his performance in Australia had not been up to scratch.
“I accept that as a senior batsman I didn’t perform up to expectations, but I still believe that I have cricket left in me,” said Yousuf, who made his debut against South Africa at Durban in 1998.
In 2005, he converted from Roman Catholicism to Islam and started preaching in his spare time.
“I am thankful to almighty Allah for blessing me with talent and I am very happy that I helped Pakistan win lots of matches,” said Yousuf, who defected to rebel Indian Cricket League (ICL) after he was dropped from the team in 2007.
On persuasion from the PCB, Yousuf changed his mind only to rejoin the ICL in November 2008 and was subsequently banned from playing for Pakistan.
Early last year, a stay order from a Pakistani court paved his way back into the team. He then accepted the captaincy after regular captain Younus Khan withdrew from the twin tours of New Zealand and Australia.
The PCB banned Yousuf and Khan on March 10 indefinitely due to “infighting”, after an investigation into the disastrous Australian tour.
“I never had any fight with Younus, we both supplemented each other on the tour of Australia so there was no reason for fighting,” said Yousuf.
“I can still appeal against the ban, but only if my (religious) elders approve.”

Hamilton, Mar 27(ANI): Australian skipper Ricky Ponting was run out for a world-record 13th time during the first day of the second Test against New Zealand in Hamilton.
Ponting’s 13th run out in 144 Tests beat the earlier record of 12, held jointly by fellow Australians Allan Border and Matthew Hayden.
The 35-year-old was batting on 22, when he pushed a ball to mid-off and set off for a single, but failed to beat a throw to the bowler’s end by New Zealand skipper Daniel Vettori.
It was the second successive run out for Ponting, both times with opener Simon Katich as his partner, The Sydney Morning Herald reports.
Earlier, Ponting won the toss for the eighth successive time, dating back to the fifth ODI match against the West Indies in Melbourne on February 19.
Australia lead the series 1-0 after securing a 10-wicket win in Wellington. (ANI)
Trelawny (Jamaica), Mar 19(ANI): Jamaican sprinter and three-time Olympic gold medalist Usain Bolt has put on hold his plans to challenge American sprinter Michael Johnson’s 400metres world record until after the 2012 London Olympics.
Bolt, the world’s fastest man at both 100m and 200m, competes over 300m in May, but will delay a bid to break Johnson’s 43.18secs mark for the 400m.
“The 400m is somewhere, but hopefully after 2012,” The Daily Express quoted Bolt, as saying.
Bolt had earlier suggested that he could aim to break the 400 metres world record this year, as no major championships are scheduled for the year.
The 23-year-old holds the world record for the 100 metres, the 200 metres and, along with his team-mates, the 4×100 metres relay.
At the 2008 Summer Olympics, Bolt became the first man to win three sprinting events at a single Olympics since Carl Lewis in 1984, and the first man to set world records in all three at a single Olympics.
He set world records in both 100 m and 200 m events at the 2008 Beijing Summer Olympics. He ran the 100 m event in a record time of 9.69secs to break his own previous record of 9.72secs and in the 200 m event he broke previous record of 19.32secs by Johnson at the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta with a record time of 19.30secs.

London, Mar.10 (ANI): Geneva’s Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is to shut down for a year to address safety concerns
Dr. Steve Myers, a director at the Large Hadron Collider in Geneva has told BBC News that some mistakes were made in construction.
Dr. Myers said these faults will delay the machine reaching its full potential for two years.
The atom smasher will reach world record power later this month at 7 trillion electron volts (TeV). But the machine must close at the end of 2011 for up to a year for work to make the tunnel safe for proton collisions planned at twice that level.
The machine only recently restarted after being out of action for 14 months following an accident in September 2008.
Dr Myers said the decision was taken jointly with the physicists working on the four giant particle detectors on the LHC. (ANI)
London, Sep.19 (ANI): Britisher James Bowthorpe has become the fastest man to pedal around the globe, while surviving an ambush in Iran, a collision with a wombat in Australia, food poisoning in India and tendonitis in both ankles.
Bowthorpe cycles into Hyde Park, Central London on Friday afternoon, completing an 18,000-mile bike ride across 20 countries in less than six months, beating the world record by 20 days, reports The Times.
“The best thing about the trip was the people. I’ve been shown some amazing kindness – I’ve had free meals and clothes and bike maintenance. The mechanic at Bullmoose Brothers in Kentucky gave me the cranks off his own bike when mine failed. “There have been some idiots but not many – the person who threw a kebab at me out of their car window somewhere in Western Australia definitely isn’t getting an invite to the welcome-home party,” the paper quoted Bowthorpe, as saying.
However for Bowthorpe, 32, beating the record set last year by the Scottish cyclist Mark Beaumont was not uppermost in his mind. After watching his grandfather suffer with Parkinson’s disease, raising money for research into the condition was his main priority.
Before embarking on his challenge in March, Bowthorpe signed up with What’s Driving Parkinson’s, a research clinic at King’s College Hospital in London to raise enough money.
So far, he has accumulated 55,000 pounds out of a 1.8 million pound target.
Bowthorpe set out from Hyde Park on March 29 this year and completed the world record journey on September 18. (ANI)
Melbourne, Sep 18 (ANI): A Holiday Inn hotel made entirely of key cards has been unveiled in New York.
The 37-square-metre hotel, built by world record-holding Cardstacker Bryan Berg, is made from more than 200,000 key cards and weighs 1814 kilograms.
It includes a guest bedroom, bathroom and lobby, with life-sized furniture.
The design was created by Holiday Inn, the world’s largest hotel group, to mark the relaunch of 1200 of its hotels around the world.
“The Key Card Hotel is a fun and interactive way to showcase the changes happening at our hotels and is the only structure of its kind to ever be created by a hotel brand,” News.com.au quoted Kevin Kowalski, Senior Vice President, Global Brand Management, Holiday Inn, as saying.
Berg, who will also build a freestanding three-metre replica of New York’s Empire State Building in the lobby of the Key Card Hotel using Holiday Inn playing cards, said constructing the hotel has been a great challenge.
“This is my largest cardstacking challenge to date and the only card creation I have ever made at full human scale,” Berg added about the hotel.
The first 250 guests who attended the Key Card Hotel grand opening received a free night stay at any Holiday Inn.
The company’s 1 billion dollar relaunch is one of the largest in the history of the hospitality industry. (ANI)
