Johnson's judgment exposed again

The Football Expo in Cannes this week turned up one of the most unlikely delegates at a health and fitness seminar

The Football Expo in Cannes this week turned up one of the most unlikely delegates at a health and fitness seminar. The bete noire of track and field, Ben Johnson (above), arrived as a personal trainer to Colonel Gadaffi's son Al Saadi. The Canadian sprinter, who was caught twice with banned substances in his system, again appears to have received some bad career advice.

Neither man was much in evidence around Cannes during the week as the Lockerbie bombing verdict was announced, denouncing Libya and state-sponsored terrorism.
