Ben Johnson ran his first competitive race in close to two decades on Tuesday, competing at a Toronto meet in a celebrity relay. His team won.
“Exhausted,” he said, sitting inside the University of Toronto’s stadium. “I’m in good shape, but my cardio is really bad. My breathing, you know? It’s bad. But my running style is OK.” (Photo: Darren Calabrese/National Post)

The Olympics are over but the controversy over the Men’s 4x100m relay may not be. As you may know, Canada was disqualified and stripped of the bronze medal for stepping on a lane line during the race. BUT, they weren’t the only ones. These screen grabs clearly show both the USA and Trinidad stepping on the lines as well.
Hat tip to @mdcardinal for pointing this out.
