I heard this joke from a friend, and he attributed it to another friend.
This is purported to be a true quotation.

Prior to the World Championships in Rome, Ben Johnson was asked whether
he would prefer a gold medal or a world record.  He said that he would
prefer a gold medal because "no one can ever take it away from me."
