TWO ANSWERS REQUIRED: Six of the eight finalists in the men’s 100 m at the 1988 Summer Olympics in Seoul would eventually be implicated in scandals involving the use of performance-enhancing drugs. 1984 gold medalist Carl Lewis finished second. WHAT TWO JAMAICAN-BORN SPRINTERS, one running for Canada and the other running for the UK, also finished in the initial top three? (The Canadian was disqualified after the anabolic steroid stanozolol was found in his post-race urine sample, while the British runner would go on to win gold in the 100 meters in Barcelona.)
(Note: this question was tapped for the finals before we realized that the Montserrat Caballe question in the finals also asked about the Barcelona Olympics, and we didn't want to seem like we had some sort of nutso fixation on it.)
