	Ben Johnson (athlete) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Johnson had indeed inherited the earth: he had meanwhile become a massive commercial magnet and in Canada, the desertion of Wayne Gretzky from Edmonton for the Los Angeles Kings would ensure that he became the foremost national sporting treasure.
		Johnson’s urine sample was analysed on Sunday, September 25 at the IOC-accredited laboratory in Seoul, under the direction of Dr. Jongsei Park.
		Johnson's spacious home in Newmarket, Ontario's Stonehaven neighborhood is one of the last remnants of his former wealth; he claims to have lost his Ferrari when he used it as collateral for a loan from an acquaintance in order to make a house payment.

		Johnson, recalled from Portland to replace the disabled Phil Nevin, was drafted in the 4th round by the Cardinals back in 1999.
		Johnson’s numbers are nice in and of themselves; taking into consideration his youth and relatively crude approach, they’re even more impressive.
		Johnson probably would benefit by at least starting the season at Double-A but the Pads have been fairly aggressive in promoting their toolsy prospects of late (see their handling of Vince Faison, for example), so it’s more likely that he’ll spend the year at Portland.

		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.
