Ben Johnson is a Canadian former sprinter who was stripped of his 1988 Olympic gold medal in the 100 metres after testing positive for the banned steroid stanozolol. He was born in Falmouth, Jamaica, on December 30, 1961, and moved to Canada with his family when he was 15 years old. He began competing in track and field at the age of 17, and quickly became one of the world’s fastest sprinters. In 1987, he won the 100 metres at the World Championships in Rome, becoming the first Canadian to do so. The following year, he won the gold medal in the 100 metres at the 1988 Summer Olympics in Seoul, South Korea. However, his victory was short-lived, as he was stripped of his medal after testing positive for stanozolol. Johnson was banned from competition for two years, and his reputation was tarnished. He attempted to make a comeback in the early 1990s, but he was never able to regain his previous form. He retired from competition in 1993. In recent years, Johnson has spoken out about his use of performance-enhancing drugs, and has apologized for his actions. He has also worked as a coach and motivational speaker.
