Johnson Return Delayed

Ben Johnson’s bid to return to competition has been adjourned until July 21 after lawyers for two track governing bodies asked for the delay.

Johnson and his lawyers were in a Brampton general division court seeking a judge’s ruling that the 1993 lifetime ban against the 35-year-old was imposed unfairly and illegally, and prevents him from earning a living.

Johnson was stripped of his Olympic gold medal and world record in the 100 meters after testing positive for steroids in 1988.
