In Speed Trap, his first book to go beyond his dramatic testimony at the Dubin Inquiry, Charlie Francis tells a profoundly human story as he shatters the conspiracy of silence maintained by the international sports community surrounding drug use.  He addresses the central issues arising from the events at the Seoul Olympics.  Was his star pupil, Ben Johnson, the exception – or are performance-enhancing drugs commonplace among the world’s track stars?
