Ottey never "fled" the World Championships - she withdrew just like all athletes whose samples come back positive do, probably in part due to pressure from IAAF.
Ottey was then cleared of all charges and re-instated in time for the 2000 Olympics where she came in 4th but should probably get the silver after cheats Marion and Jones and Ekaterini Thanou are struck from the books.
Merlene Ottey was caught, during 1999, she tested positive, when the news of her second positive test was released; she fled the world championships in Seville Spain. The second test came from a meet in Luceren Switerland on July5,1999She tested positive for nandrolone, both A & B sample tested positive.
Jamaica should of won. I remeber that but it was during the days whenever one was scared to go against the us..not anymore. not you being found out for the cheaters you are!
What a joke. Jamaica finally wins something and now they are obliterating the U.S., lol. The U.S. has swept so many times in the past it's not even funny. Devers owned Ottey, lol.
Yeah, the U.S. is larger, and it shows in the medal count. I just don't understand the need to put down another country's success when your country experiences some success. I always rooted for Jamaica to be successful because I admired their athletes who didn't have the advantages of the athletes from Eastern Europe and the U.S. but still performed admirably. Ottey is an amazing story all by herself, was a big fan of hers. It seems to me you are playing the bully. Jealous maybe?
Not hatin on anybody, actually said I liked Ottey, read the post. By your logic, I guess all the previous Olympics since the fall of East Germany were the "U.S. Olympics" in track, at least.
Devers might have said "Jamaica Olympics" but you're the one who pointed it out so you must support it. "Jamaica destroys in track,".........now that's "hatin'"
r u insane? for real man Im gonna get blamed for what Gail Devers made a point to say on national TV?
then Im the one bein called a hater for saying Jamaica Destroys in track?
Listen, there is nothing at all hatefull in saying Jamaica destroys in track. Your looking for a fight. Thats why you continue to contact me with foolish "points"
Yah I support what Gail (the person you support) said. Whats wrong with supporting what SHE said? You also hatin on Gail Devers now? make up your mind.
Where was I hatin? Because I said Gail beat Merlene? Umm, guess what, she DID beat her. My points are foolish, huh? Okay, Jamaica "destroyed" in one Olympics and the U.S. "destroyed" the previous century, lol.
Im not takin anything away from the USA... But come on man... Its Jamaica time.
and that last olympics they did destroy. Even gail devers herself calledthe Bejing Olympics the Jamaican olympics...
IT was a pound for pound beat down in track fr Jamaica.
AS I said before, Give Jamaica the home court advantage the energy in the air would be too powerfull. That whole country would be on fire. I am certian if Jamaica hosted the olympics that they would again obliterate in the sprints.
Lets get back to reality here. What does Jamaica have other than sandy beaches and Olympic champions who are doped up but just haven't been caught yet? You still live in a third world country of 2.7 million, of which 2.69 million are high out of their mind sitting around listening to Bob Marley all day.
If you can't understand what is written, then apparently you are one of the 2.69 million are high out of their mind sitting around listening to Bob Marley all day. Go back to school and learn how to read.
Jamacia has no anti-doping organization, and parliment there is trying to form one, and push throught legislation that will enact the WADDA codes, but for now they have no anti-doping agency.
I can tell u what they don't have, an anti-doping organization, so their athletes are completely unsupervised and are not tested, of course until they compete internationally.
This race is simple, ottey won fair and square according to iaaf rules (torso over line etc...)its obvious from the photo finish, look for other vids and you will see these, how devers was awarded is beyond me, and im saying that in the nicest possible way.
She wasn't robbed on either occasions. Devers won in 93' and she won here So get over it. What let's Merlene down is her start. It's not particularly bad but Dever's start is ALWAYS exceptional, so Merlene always plays catch up. 50 metres more of the race Devers would've probably ended up 3rd, with Ottey still 2nd cus Torrence would've come thru to take 1st place. But it's a 100metre race and Devers is the winner. And rightfully so. And a great athlete she is too.
Gail Devers is not only my favorite track athlete of all time, but my favorite athlete of all time. Her talent and personality puts her on a whole other level, which you don't see too much in athletes nowdays. If anyone else has vids with her in them, feel free to let me know. Thanks!

So? the U.S. is exponentially larger than Jamaica. And Jamaica has had to send there talent abroad cause its not a rich country.
WOW. Many Americans love to be the big bully.
Your 100 times the size of Jamaica litteraly, and far richer of a country so you can keep your talent.
Pound for Pound Jamaica destroys in track. 3million to over 300 million... "Rich Nation" vs "Poor" Nation.
