 Ben Johnson: Canada's shame - Going for Dope: Canada and Drugs in Sport - CBC Archives
The nationwide party sparked by Ben Johnson's gold-medal triumph at the Seoul Olympics ends abruptly three days later, when the International Olympic Committee reveals the sprinter has tested positive for the banned anabolic steroid stanozolol.
Doping officials said they believed Johnson's steroid profile was not consistent with ingestion of stanozolol after the race.
• Another theory holds that Johnson was using stanozolol, but misjudged the drug's "clearance time" — the amount of time it takes for a drug to clear the athlete's system and not show up on a drug test.
