this scorned Olympian from Games gone by?
In a scintillating performance, Canadian sprinter Ben Johnson dropped his 100-meter World Record to 9.79 seconds and claimed the Gold Medal at the 1988 Summer Olympics in Seoul, South Korea. He owned that Gold and the World Record for fewer than 72 hours, however, when a urine sample turned up the steroid, stanozolol. Both accolades were stripped and the Gold was instead awarded to race runner up, Carl Lewis (9.92 seconds).
Johnson later admitted to steroid use from 1981-88 and had his World Record of 9.83 seconds established at the World Championships a year earlier in Rome stripped as well.
