Famous for a time : forgotten giants of Canadian sport / by Wilson, Jason,1970-author.; Reid, Richard M.,1943-author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index."The cultural impact of sport on a nation is not slight. Famous for a Time explores a number of important, if not well remembered, Canadian athletes and the sports they played to help explain the nation's complicated history, sporting and otherwise. It is an exploration that reveals the socio-cultural trends that have shaped Canada since Confederation. Through the prism of some exceptional athletes, the prevailing attitudes of many Canadians about class, race, masculinity, femininity, and national identity are laid bare. Here, from the sidelines, we learn how these attitudes have changed--or not, as the case may be--over time. From team sports such as lacrosse, baseball, and cricket to Canada's cycling craze, track and field, and boxing, each chapter offers insight into an important aspect of the nation's narrative. The winners and losers of Canada's games simply mirror the larger questions that have faced Canadian society across three centuries."--

World's fastest man* : the incredible life of Ben Johnson / by Ormsby, Mary,author.;
For twenty-four hours in the summer of 1988, Canada's Ben Johnson was the most celebrated athlete on the planet. He'd won the 100-metre sprint at the Seoul Olympics in a world-record 9.79 seconds and just had time to say, "A gold medal - that's something no one can take away from you," before testing positive for performance enhancing drugs and giving back his medal. Admitting to steroid use, Johnson has lived in ignominy ever since, but there's much more to his incredible story. The sprint he won has since been called "the dirtiest race in history," with six of eight competitors linked to doping infractions. The steroid for which Johnson tested positive was not the steroid he was using. There were so many irregularities and mistakes in his testing that credible experts now say he should never have been disqualified and some see a conspiracy of Johnson's track rivals behind his disgrace. Sportswriter Mary Ormsby was on the scene in Seoul. Now, with unprecedented access to Johnson, she tells his whole story for the first time - the rise of a skinny kid working Jamaican sugar estates to track-and-field superstardom to his lifetime ban from the sport and his unyielding efforts to determine exactly what happened to him on that fateful night in 1988.
