Boris Goins and Donovan Bailey beat Ben Johnson on the track and then verbally beat him up in the interview room.
Johnson, once the fastest man in the world, struggled to a fourth-place finish Saturday night in the 50 meters in the Ottawa Winternational Indoor Games with a time of 5.88 seconds."I was watching a TV interview with Johnson and he was saying how he was going to blow away the field," said Goins, who won the race in 5.78 seconds. "That really fired me up. . . . He showed no class at all."
Bailey finished second in the same time as Goins.

"I want to show the Canadian public that there are other sprinters out there who can beat Ben Johnson," Bailey said. "There's a lot more to track and field in Canada than just Ben Johnson."
