Speed Trap: The Inside Story of Ben Johnson and the Biggest Scandal in Olympic History

Speed Trap tells the story of Charlie Francis' journey to develop one of the world’s largest and most successful sprint training groups, including one of the Fastest Men of All Time. Written in 1991, Speed Trap chronicles methods used to create an unprecedented training group, virtually self financed and supported by Charlie for the duration of his career. While the book is a great read in terms of the compelling story line surrounding the events of the 1988 Olympics, it also offers incredible insight into the science of sprint training at the most elite level possible.
