The Economist Asks: Michael Johnson
The Economist Podcasts
Are todayโs sporting competitions fair? The four-time Olympic champion sprinter tells Anne McElvoy why he handed back his gold medal after discovering his team-mate's use of performance-enhancing drugs, and why he thinks doping will never be eradicated. Should athletes be allowed to protest on the podium? And, the man with the โgolden shoesโ on his fantasy sport opponent?
With acknowledgments to Team USA.
