He did test positive for Stanazol. His coach claimed that he must have been taking it without his knowledge. I had never heard of furazabol before but found out it is probably one of the best AAS for lipid profiles since it has been shown to actually raise HDL. I think he was pretty much a walking pharmacy at the time prior to Olymics and Stanazol was one of the drugs he had been using as well as Dianabol.
Here is an excerpt from wikipedia:
"A famous case of illicit drug use in a competition was
Canadian Ben Johnson's victory in the 100 m at the
1988 Summer Olympics. He subsequently failed the drug test when
stanozolol was found in his urine. He later admitted to using the steroid as well as
Dianabol, Cypionate, Furazabol, and
human growth hormone amongst other things.
Carl Lewis was then promoted one place to take the Olympic title home."
Somewhere else it stated that his coach thought he was taking only furazabol & HGH. Here is another excerpt re: that
"Francis told the inquiry, which is expected to call 30 witnesses, that Johnson first decided in 1981 to take anabolic steroids, because of the need to keep up with the competition. The coach said he himself mixed injections of Vitamin B-12, HGH and furazabol, an anabolic steroid, when he took over their administration.
