Answer

Christie tested positive for the banned substance nandrolone at the 1988 Summer Olympics in Seoul. This event tarnished her reputation as a decorated athlete and resulted in her disqualification and a two-year ban from competition. The positive test for steroids deeply disappointed her fans, fellow athletes, and the sports community worldwide, leading to the revocation of her gold medal and the loss of trust in her athletic integrity.
