Ben Johnson claiming he was set up
Ben Johnson, who was stripped of his 100-meter Olympic gold medal in 1988 for testing positive for steroids, is now saying in a new book, Seoul to Soul, that he was a victim of sabotage.
Johnson, who has previously admitted to taking banned substances, is now saying " it's been 22 years that I tested positive in 1988, and it has come to pass that I was sabotaged, put it that way," Johnson told reporters.
However, he would not provide any more information.
"There's more coming out, there's more that I could say, but I can't elaborate too much ... I can't say too much right now, because I've been advised by my manager that I can't say too much about the book."
