Maurice Greene retained his title after withstanding both injury and a determined challenge from compatriot Tim Montgomery. After running 9.84 in Oslo in July, Montgomery was regarded as a serious threat to Greene, but in the final he was one of three false starters. Once the race began, Greene – wearing a black tourniquet below his left knee – was dominant. He seemed to be heading for a commanding victory, but then around 15m from the finish line appeared to tighten up.
Greene held on, though Montgomery closed and nearly got within dipping distance of the defending champion, who hobbled about after the finish line. Williams overtook Boldon in the closing stages to complete a US medal sweep.
Greene had suffered injuries to his left quadricep and hamstring during the race, yet still clocked 9.82 into a slight headwind, the thirdfastest ever. His coach John Smith estimated that Greene’s winning time would have been 9.77 without the injuries. “I can say that it was my best race, up to 65 or 70 metres, ever,” remarked Greene. “I took my body where it was not prepared to go, and when your body is not prepared for something, it will break down.” In the second round, the wind gauge failed completely, meaning that Mark Lewis-Francis’s time of 9.97 could never be recognised as a world junior record. The big story of the first round was that of 135kg American Samoan Trevor “the Tortoise” Misipeka, who clocked 14.28 in the opening heat. He had planned to put the shot in Edmonton but did not have the minimum qualifying standard required for field events.
In summer 2004 the US Anti-Doping Agency wrote to Tim Montgomery informing him that he was to be charged with anti-doping violations as a consequence of the federal investigation into the Californian Bay Area Laboratory Co-Operative (Balco), a Northern California nutrition company. The case eventually went before the Court of Arbitration for Sport, who in December 2005 found Mongomery guilty of years of doping violations. He was banned for two years from 2005 and all his results from March 31, 2001 were annulled. These included a 100m world record of 9.78 in 2002 and, of course, his world silver and relay gold from 2001. Therefore Williams and Boldon were promoted to Edmonton silver and bronze.
