Thought this link might be interesting, Winny was not part of Johnsons steroid regime, then where did it come from?

Ben's Drug Use
According to Francis, Ben used primarily D (but later replaced it with Furazabol), B-12, Dixarit (blood pressure drug), and Mosuret (diuretic). He had only experimented with Winny occasionally but never used it anywhere close to a meet because it made him too stiff. How he tested positive for V is a mystery to Francis.

Stanozolol was the substances which enabled Ben Johnson to achieve his magic sprints. It also gave this excep-tional athlete a distinctly visible gain in hard and defined quality muscles, possibly making quite a few bodybuilders envious. During the first doping-tested professional bodybuilding championships, the Arnold's Classic 1990, the winner, Shawn Ray, and the enormously massive Canadian pro, Nimrod King, tested positive on Winstrol (stanozolol), (FLEX, July 1990). The Track and Field World Champi-onships 1993 in Stuttgart also brought two positive "stanozolol cases" to light.

Nautica is probably right.
Winny is comonly reported as the AS that any given athlete tests postive for.
That doesn't mean anything. The truth is nobody knows what he was on except a handful of chemists, bens coach, attny, and maybe ben himself. The IOC doesn't tip it's hand and its the only athletic organization thats actually not affraid to catch athletes. They'll tell the press whatever they want since the bottom line is still the same, a postive test is a postive test regardless of the drug.
...My guess would be turinabol
Man I'd love to get some of that shit from a solid lab.

Dunno about those poundages, but i have trained with pro sprinters who could move crazy weight in the "fast" lifts (OL variations). they didn't really give a f**k about how much they could bench. in fact they hardly ever did, as tight pecs make it harder to get in the recieve position for any snatch variation. they seemed to spend more time stretching out their upper bodies than actually training them. they also would only do ass to the grass squats with a pretty narrow stance and low reps (high reps built too much mass). usually they would have a top squat set of 3-4 reps with 405 or 455, which was impressive considering they are around 170-175lbs. the only other thing they did that was sorta a bodybuilding movement was behind the neck push jerks. one guy would do sets of 8-10 with 245lbs. he was incredibly effecient at using leg drive to launch the weight up though...his arms were pretty much just catching the weight at the top.
i don't doubt that Johnson could bench alot, i'm just questioning why he would even want to.
