SEOUL, South Korea — Sports Illustrated is reporting in this week's issue that disgraced Canadian sprinter Ben Johnson received injections of anabolic steroids in late May from a doctor on the Caribbean island nation of St. Kitt's.
The magazine identified the physician as Jamie Astaphan, from whom Johnson had sought treatment for a hamstring pull suffered 10 days earlier.
Astaphan denied the story to reporters in Toronto and again last night on ABC's "Nightline."
"These charges are totally untrue and unfounded," he said.
