some interesting facts (from wikipedia) that I didn't know:

Quote:
Charlie Francis, a vocal critic of the IOC testing procedures, is the author of Speed Trap, which features Johnson heavily. In the book, he freely admits that his athletes were taking anabolic steroids, as he claims all top athletes at the time were, and also claims that Johnson could not possibly have tested positive for that particular steroid since Johnson actually preferred furazabol. He thought stanozolol made his body "feel tight".
Quote:
Dr. Jamie Astaphan, maintains that his urine sample was sabotaged because Johnson was administered furazabol, which was not an IOC banned substance at the time
