Canadian runners haven’t limited themselves to steroids in wild attempts to win races, says sprinter Angela Bailey.
“Cocaine, heroin, LSD, whatever they can do to win, they’ll do it,” said the 26-year-old resident of Mississauga in the providence of Ontario. Bailey ran in the 100 meters and 400-meter relay at the Seoul Olympics, where Canada’s Ben Johnson forfeited his 100-meter gold medal for using steroids.
Bailey said she wasn’t surprised by Angella Issajenko’s admission in an earlier Toronto Star story that she has taken steroids for years. In 1983, Bailey accused Issajenko and Molly Killingbeck of using anabolic steroids and said she knows of six other athletes, besides Johnson and Issajenko, who use steroids.
