9,79 – Das schmutzigste Rennen aller Zeiten (2013)
Beim Finale des 100-Meter-Laufs bei den olympischen Spielen 1988 in Seoul kämpfen acht Ausnahmeläufer um die begehrte Goldmedaille. Auch zwei Erzrivalen stehen an den Startblöcken: der gefeierte US-Athlet Carl Lewis und der Kanadier Ben Johnson. Obwohl Lewis als klarer Favorit gilt, ist nach unfassbaren 9,79 Sekunden klar – der schnellste Mensch der Welt heißt Ben Johnson. Der 26-jährige wird über Nacht zum gefeierten Star, ihm winken lukrative Werbeverträge und eine glänzende Zukunft. Doch schnell werden Zweifel an der nahezu unmenschlichen Leistung des Sportlers laut, die Gerüchte um mögliches Doping vermehren sich.
