That would be Ben Johnson of Canada who set a world record in the 100 meter finals at the 1988 Summer Games. A subsequent urine test found the steroid Stanozolol in his system and he was disqualified.

he has not won any medals in the Olympics.

Doping regulations were adopted by the International Olympic Committee in 1967. The first athlete to be disqualified for drug use was Hans-Gunnar Liljenwall from Sweden who won bronze, along with the Swedish team, at the 1968 Summer Olympics in Mexico City in modern pentathlon. Liljenwall was disqualified when a post event drug test showed alcohol in his system. The Swedish team was stripped of their medals and the bronze was awarded to the team from France.

7 - Joe Malone, Quebec, January 31, 1920, at Quebec is the most in NHL history.

Joe Malone, was the greatest scorer in the early history of the NHL, Malone began playing professional hockey in 1909. He became captain and coach of the Quebec Bulldogs in 1911 and promptly led them to two consecutive Stanley Cup championships. He scored 9 goals in one of the 1913 playoff games.

After the Quebec team folded, Malone joined the Montreal Canadiens in the NHL's first season, 1917-18. He scored 5 goals in their first game and ended the season with 44 goals in 20 games. The Quebec franchise resumed play in 1919 and Malone returned to the team. On January 31, 1920, he scored 7 goals in a game, still the NHL record, and he had 6 goals in the last game of the season. He led the league for the second time with 48 points on 39 goals and 9 assists. Malone returned to Montreal for one season, went to Hamilton, Ontario, for another, then played with Montreal again in 1922-23. He retired after just nine games the following season. He played 125 regular season games in the NHL, scoring 146 goals, with 21 assists. In 9 NHL playoff games, he had 5 goals.

In 146 AD when almost all of Greece was under the control of Rome (Roman Empire), the Olympic games started to diminish, though they did go on and were enjoyed by those who attended them. But in 394 AD (Anno Domini), under orders from Emperor Theodosius 1, these were abolished as it was forbidden to worship idols. The Games were revived after almost 1500 years.

The Olympic Games played in 2002 were the Winter Olympics and there was no long jump contested. In the 2000 Summer Olympics, Ivan Pedroso of Cuba won the men's competition with a jump of 8.55 meters and Heike Drechsler of Germany won the women's competition with a jump of 6.99 meters. In the 2004 Summer Olympics, Dwight Phillips of the United States won the men's competition with a jump of 8.59 meters and Tatyana Lebedeva of Russia won the women's competition with a jump of 7.07 meters.

Instead of holding both Olympics in the same year, starting in 1994 the Winter and Summer Olympics are now held two years apart. The next Winter Olympics will be held in 2010 and the next Summer Olympics will be held in 2012.
