Are you arguing with me or supporting my post?Christie tested positive for the anabolic steroid nandrolone in 1999. He was cleared by UK Athletics but the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) overturned the decision and banned him for two years. Chrsitie always claimed he was not guilty despite the fact that the levels of nandrolone recorded were among the highest ever registered. He is banned for life by the British Olympic Association from ever having anything to do with a British team at the Games again. Christie also failed a drugs test at the 1988 Olympics in Seoul, where he won the silver medal in the 100m after Canada's Ben Johnson, the original man first across the line was disqualifed following a positive drugs test for drugs and the runner-up Carl Lewis was upgraded to the gold medal. The Briton then tested positive for the stimulant gingseng after the 200m but was cleared on a split decision after a member of the appeals panel fell asleep and could not be woken up during the marathon disciplinary hearing.
