document: Canadian Coach Charlie Francis , who claimed that sprinter Ben Johnson 's urine sample at the Seoul Olympics was spiked with a banned steroid , told an acquaintance in Seoul that Johnson had worried that he might test positive . Lynda Huey , who was at Seoul working for NBC-TV and as a physical therapist for some American athletes , said Tuesday that Francis had bragged to her about Johnson 's preparations for a showdown against U.S. sprinter Carl Lewis . Huey said she had known Francis since 1980 when he and sprinter Angella Taylor Issajenko stayed at her home in Los Angeles . Huey said she had seen Francis on a practice track at Seoul and he had greeted her as an old friend . `` Charlie came over to me and we started talking , '' Huey said . `` We were talking about how Ben might do . Charlie said , ` Ben 's more afraid of failing the drug test than he is of Carl Lewis . ' He was bragging . '' Huey said she is tired of hearing Francis , who has been in Toronto testifying at a Canadian inquiry into drug use in sport , say that Johnson was clean at the Olympics . Francis testified that Johnson was not taking the steroid , stanozolol , before the Games and that a mysterious person might have slipped something into Johnson 's beverage in the drug-testing area before the sprinter gave his urine specimen . Clean or not , Huey said , `` Francis must have had some reason to think Ben may not pass the test . '' JULIE CART
