CosNews Photo by Nick Allon PRICE IS JUST THE BEGINNING Giga Games anyone? Just when you thought it was safe to be a Canadian the unthinkable happens. We get caught cheating at the premier event of the Olympic Games. The media went into a feeding frenzy. More than 1,000 journalists jammed into Seoul's Olympic press centre. The words were clear, concise and measured as a stunned world looked on. “The urine sample of Ben Johnson, Canada, athletics 100 metres, collected on Saturday 24th September 1988, was found to contain the metabolates of a banned substance; namely Stanozolol. It's an_anabolic steroid.” Michelle Verdiere of the International Olympic Committee read those words calmly from a press release at about 5:10 p.m. Monday Castlegar time. The resounding crash heard here and around the rest of the country immediately following those words was the sound of jaws hitting the floor in disbelief. Just as quickly as Ben Johnson had set the world on its ear by running the fastest 100-metre race in history, he set himself on his own ear by failing a drug test. His track shoes hadn't even cooled off from the blistering 9.79-second finish when the news hit the fan. What followed was more disheartening than the event itself. Talking heads on TV spent the next hours, mourning for the nation that was crushed by the news, telling me how terrible I felt and how I was ashamed to be a Canadian because of this catastrophe. Not bloody likely. Just because a guy wearing the colors of my country on his track suit breaks an Olympic rule, does not mean I am going to condemn myself or my country And I really get off on those Americans who just aren't satisfied with their man Carl Lewis taking the gold with Johnson's disqualification. They must also rub-our noses in-it-by-questioning our-programs and training methods as they sing the praises of the integrity of their gritty amateur athletes. How many millions of dollars did Lewis make last year anyway? It’s all propaganda. Besides, I found at least two good things about this whole scenario. First, Johnson is still the fastest man on earth. His time of 9.83 seconds set at-the world meet in Rome last year still stands. But more important is the fact that Johnson has single-handedly brought the steroid controversy into perspective. It has become quite obvious that the drug which promotes muscle density does not only aid those involved in strength events like weight lifting and shot put alone. He has now proven the drug can assist the performance of a wide variety of athletes involved in other events. Those who take the drug will run even Sporting. Views By Brendon Nagle faster, just as those who take the drug for weight. lifting will lift more weight. If that is the case, just imagine the possibilities. Gymnasts doing quadruple flips with triple twists; swimmers leaving rooster tails in their wake while motoring through the water at unthinkable speeds. The microscope under which Ben Johnson is currently being! examined proves there is fertile ground for another kind of games; games where an athlete’s pharmacist will be more important than his coach. mes that will have stronger, faster and better athletes than any Olymipe competition has ever offered. Games that will boldly go where no athletic competitions have ever gone before. The Giga Games. But don’t get me wrong. The Giga Games would not replace the Olympics. The Olympics would remain as a showcase for “pure” athletes. Instead. the Giga Games would fill the void created by the four-year gap in Olympic-eompetitions I find myself glued to the TV during the Olympics watching rowing, equestrian, water polo and other events that I never watch between Olympiads. The Giga Games would run on a four-year schedule as well but Gigapiads would run between Olympiads, leaving only two years between spectacles. Two sets of Games. The mind reels at the possibilities. The Olympic competitors could still take pride in their physical “purity” while the Gigathletes would go faster and further with the help of their prescriptions. And the Winter Giga Games . . . brings a whole new meaning to the sport speed skating. So let's hear it for the Giga Games and these over-amped athletes who can zone out and blow the rails off of all the records set by the “pure” Olympic competitors. Is anybody ready for an 8.83-second 100? Johnson says he's innocent TORONTO (CP) — Sprinter Ben Johnson, stripped of his gold medal earlier this week after he failed a drug test at the Seoul Olympics, says he is innocent and “never took any banned substances.” Johnson told the Toronto Sun in an exclusive interview published Saturday that he received anti-in flammatory cortisone shots from his doctor, George Mario (Jamie) Astaphan, days before running the 100 metres a week ago in a world record 9.79 seconds. “I was told I had to have the shots three to four days before the race so the pain would go away. I rested for a couple of days to let it take effect.” An Olympic medical officer in Seoul said earlier this week that Johnson told him after the race he had taken a type of therapeutic steroid. Astaphan said later. it was a “legitimate steroid.” Astaphan has repeatedly denied giving Johnson banned substances. The only other medication Johnson took in Seoul was a concoction fixed by Astaphan, the sprinter said “I stayed in the hotel and Jamie mixed my drinks,” Johnson said. “He told me it was an energy builder and contained sarasparilla and ginseng. I never mixed my own drink. Jamie told me what was in it.” Johnson won the gold medal in the race but had it taken away within 72 hours after Olympic officials said he had tested positive for banned anabolic steroids. Since then, several sources \have alleged that Astaphan gave the 26-year-old’ sprinter banned substances. The College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario announced Friday an investigation into Astaphan's practice. But Johnson said he does not suspect his doctor of prescribing a banned drug. TRUSTED DOCTOR “He is like a father to me. He treated me like a son. He put me up with his parents. I like Jamie. I trusted him.” Johnson told George Gross, the Sun's corporate sports editor, that the West German magazine Stern offered him $500,000 US for his story. “They offered me $250,000 for the story but I told them I wouldn't do it. I told them, ‘Tl tell my story to the Canadian people through Canadian media.’ They doubled the amount”to $500,000 American. I turned them down.” The Sun said Johnson approached the newspaper and was not paid for the interview. Johnson noted that he suffered a torn hamstring and badly damaged tendon during a meet in Europe last February. The treatment of that injury and a subsequent muscle pull sparked a dispute between Johnson and his long-time coach, Charlie Francis. “I told Charlie I didn’t want to go in Europe (for another meet) because of the injury and the media pressure. Instead, I decided to go to St. Kitts and have my injury treated. “Jamie Astaphan came to the island . . . I also started taking some pills to accelerate the healing process. I was told they would dissolve some blood clots in the leg. Jamie told me to take the pills, that they will help. “But he didn’t tell me what the pills contain. They worked well because I was running every day on the beach and the leg was coming around.” returned to Canada on The coach has not Johnson and Francis separate planes last Tuesday commented publicly on the scandal since it broke the day before. The injuries occurred after Johnson set the world record of 9.83 seconds over 100 metres in the August 1987 world championships in Rome Another coach at Johnson's Toronto track club has accused Astaphan of giving Johnson “a little something extra” that had to be “masked” before the sprinter set the Rome record. That mark still stands. The 9.79-second dash in Seoul has been erased. from the books. Johnson's bitter rival, Carl Lewis, second, was awarded the gold medal The federal government announced earlier this week that it would conduct an inquiry into the circum stances surrounding Johnson's loss of his gold medal. The federal government announced earlier this week that it would conduct an inquiry into the circumstances surrounding Johnson's loss of his gold medal. “I want my name to be cleared and I'll do anything to clear it,” Johnson said. “I didn’t do anything wrong. It hurt me, though, that people would condemn me without hearing my side of the story.” In an eight-paragraph letter “to the people of Canada,” published in the Sun, Johnson asked for a “full investigation by the appropriate authorities to find out how all this happened. “I'm innocent and I welcome the opportunity of proving it. I'm proud to be a Canadian and I would never do anything to hurt the people who support me.” who finished JOHNSON'S LETTER TORONTO (CP) — The following is Ben Johnson's “letter to the people of Canada” that was published in the Toronto Sun Saturday: I want to state clearly now that I have never nay taken illegal drugs nor have had illegal past two years I have heen tested about 10 times. Every single one of my tests has been negative. My most recent test was on or around Aug. 17. All of these tests to my knowledge were thorough and complete. I'm well aware that every Olympic medalist is tested and, as you all are aware, I wasn’t going to Seoul to lose. I fully expected to win in a gold medal and I fully expected to be tested. There can be no possible reason under those circumstances that I would have taken an illegal drug. If, indeed, it was my urine sample that was tested, then I invite a full investigation by the appropriate authorities to find out how all this happened. T'm innocent and I welcome the opportunity of proving it, T'm proud to be a Canadian and I would never do anything to hurt the people who support me. The Canadian people should have the right to hear my story first.
