    Lewis had inflamed his halmstring winning the long jump less than an hour before this race. He had been struggling with his hamstring since the meet in Oslo two months earlier. The US team chose not to use their backup runner, Stanley Floyd, who was having a lacklustre season and probably would not have challenged for the win anyway. Earnest Obeng was an amazing starter who always faded at the end of the 100m.

      Lewis was fit or he would not have run. Obeng's pick up made him quit. Lewis would have pulled up at the first 50 if he had issues His heart string and drugs were not to good then.

      Lewis said in his book that he faked an injury just so he could go home before the tour was over. He admitted it, brought it up.
