Ben Johnston was a famous runner in the 1980's, he won five gold medals, two silver and three bronze. However he was being accused of using steroids, he tried to deny it but eventually got caught with using steroids and got disqualified from most of his races. This was very important socially because they actually found out that a lot of other racers were on steroids as well. At our museum you watch some of his races like the one down below.
