Ben Johnson claims his drink was spiked in autobiography "SEOUL TO SOUL"

Disgraced sprinter Ben Johnson claims he has obtained an explosive confession from a man who had access to the Olympic doping control room at the 1988 Seoul Games and who admits he spiked the 100m winner's drink with an anabolic steroid.

The alleged confession by Andre Jackson, who the Seoul 100m runner-up Carl Lewis has described as "a family friend", is contained in Johnson's autobiography due to be published in February.

While they admit he was using an East German designer steroid furazobol, they claim he had not used stanozolol for years because it made his muscles tight, which carried too great an injury risk.

Australian lifesaver banned for stanozolol use.

A Gold Coast lifesaver who tested positive for the use of a steroid has been banned from surf boat competitions for two years.

The Australian Sports Anti-Doping Authority says Currumbin Barbarians crew member Peter Atkins returned a positive test for stanozolol in March this year.

The crew won the open surfboat event at the Australian championships in Perth.

Surf Life Saving Australia CEO Brett Williamson says that result could be overturned.

"The individual rower's medals and placings have been disqualified and we've lodged an appeal to CAS the Court of Arbitration on Sport on that matter and because of the court's rulings I can't comment on what our case is but we're certainly asking for the placings to be revised," he said.
