Re: Top cheating controversies
Ben Johnson gave Canada a complex it never really recovered from.
Oddly enough Johnson is doing comercials now for an energy drink called Cheetah. The ad features Johnson on a mock talk show hosted by Frank D'Angelo, the president and CEO of Mississauga-based D'Angelo Brands, the company that makes the drink. He tells Johnson that the talk show is all about being honest.
"Ben, when you run, do you Cheetah?"
"Absolutely!" says Johnson, who lost his world record and gold medal after a positive steroid test at the 1988 Seoul Olympics.
The audience gasps.
"I Cheetah all the time!" Johnson says.
When Johnson holds up a can of the drink, the audience bursts into applause.
D'Angelo pats Johnson on the shoulder.
"You're amazing," he tells Johnson.
