Olympic scandals by Egantx7

Question 8

At the 1988 Olympic Games in Seoul, this man became the first Canadian sprinter to strike gold in 60 years when he won the 100 meters over Carl Lewis. This man's victory and Canada's glory lasted three days before the urinalysis came back showing that he had used stanozolol, an anabolic steroid. His coach later wrote a book attacking inaccurate IOC drug testing procedures by claiming that this man preferred to take the illegal steroid furazabol, which in hindsight did nothing to help this man's case. Identify this Canadian sprinter, among the highest profile athletes to ever lose a gold medal at the Olympics for doping, who would try and rehabilitate his image by briefly coaching Diego Maradona (no, that is not a misprint).
