1998 Johannesburg Marion Jones 10.65

[MrJuha82]

without doping her record is about 11.20 IMO

[blabliblublablo]

She was so dope (d). :D

[puljacina]

btw it would be awesome to see marions 21.62 into a headwind from lane 9 with ZERO competition again! even john smith said that she had the talent to seriously attack flo jos 21.34

[nickt916]

one day i will beat the slowest woman in olympics

[Franckbery]

She was just as fast as C.Ronaldo is now.

[sciencestudent342]

@Franckbery c,ronaldo couldnt do sub 11. he looks fast, but he has no stride length. even kaka is faster over 100m because he has a rangier stride and at top speed that helps. theo walcott maybe able to 10.65, not many football players can, they train for shorter distances, up to 60m, so they run out of steam faster than elite sprinters.

[Franckbery]

@sciencestudent342 tell me something, boy! Are you just being assertive or you can prove with you are saying with videos ? where is the video that shows C.Ronaldo running a 100 meter race in more than 11 sec? where is the one showing Kaka is faster than C.Ronaldo? where is the one showing walcott running the 100m in 10.65 seconds ?

[sciencestudent342]

@Franckbery. everyone knows theo is the fastest guy around who plays for a decent team. c.ronaldo doesnt turn up on anyones list of fastest footy players, so ur one little dreamland opinion will be laughed at by the footbal fans, he maybe quick on the ball, but i strongly doubt hes a sub 11, to say 10.65, u must be in some kind of cuckoo land my friend. i would be willing to open an account on a football forums to show u how stupid u sound. 10.65 hahahahahahahahahhaha,u must be 14.

[sciencestudent342]

@Franckbery and kaka in his prime was much faster than c.ronaldo,dont let short fast steps deceive u, ive seen many people with that short, rapid stride style during my time in sports (footbal, rugby, track), and ive always been certain that guys quick! only to run passed the guy and realise its an illusion.

[dcoles89]

i say any woman who can run that dam fast is the bomb... natural or steriods.. she shouldnt have used the riods kuz she aint need them but dam she was killin them!

[msrseps2]

Cheat



[Jairzinho121]

This is why Marion Jones is so annoying is because she had the talent anyway,

But what annoys me and most other people most is that she is still in denial about it,maybe she cant face it I dunno.

But the fact she says she never knowingly took PED's just makes people even more angry at her, she just doesnt get it, and to top it all off, her husband is Tim Montgommery! So all this happened behind her back? give me a fuckin break!

[thesprintmaster]

@Jairzinho121 she didnt marry tim montgommery til 2007 so he wasnt even in the picture during to time she was using.

[RellDM]

If you listen to the interview she was given the drugs believing they were supplements in 2000 this is before it happened. I personally think it was a set up because THEY knew how great she was and wanted to destroy her. I love you Marion Jones!!! You are still a champion in my eyes. SHE WAS DOMINANT BEFORE SHE WAS SLIPPED THE DOPE!

[jrdewesse]

Its very simple. Ahe took drugs for sydney because she was running more events. the chance that her body would wear down was higher so she tool steroids to avoid fatigue not so that she would run faster.

[HonestOpinion]

I think she wanted to get set a new world record.

[cloydsantiago135]

no one in the world can break the record of florence griffith -joyner in the 100 meter dash!!!! she owns that 10.49 seconds!!! Hello!!! marion jone's record is not even close to florence's olympic record of 10.62 seconds

[puljacina]

@cloydsantiago135 how the fuck is 10.65 not close to 10.62 u dumb fuck??? and flo-jo's 10.49 were wind-aided

[Marslander2030]

@puljacina The real world record must be the 10.61 that Flo-Jo set in the Indianapolis one day later the 10.49, with a correct working anemometer, because we didn't have any concrete evidence that Griffith was drug addicted in 1988, but the 10.49 was clearly windy.

[puljacina]

@Marslander2030 i agree! and i thought we would see a sub 10.6 from jeter after her 10.67 and 10.64 races two years ago but now im not sure anymore.

[Marslander2030]

@puljacina I think both Jeter and Veronica Campbell-Brown may run around 10.56-10.60 in a 1.5 wind assisted race specially in presence of other strong oppositors (Fraser-Pryce wake up please!) but even i'm not sure Jeter at the age of 32 may be already over her prestational peak on pure speed, maybe it will be better she start to focus more to run the 200 at the same level of what she did in the 100, at least something like 21.70-21.80 in order to win 3 golds at the London olympics.

[raoulhery]

I wonder if women one day will break the 10s barrier

[TheEnlightened77]

Almost all the athletes are on dugs. Those who deny are taking the most. Fact is the informed are so far ahead of the game with masking agents that only a dumb ass could be caught today.

[jrdewesse]

She took drugs so she could make it through all the events. She didnt want to pull up with back spasms like she did in 99 in the 200m. She definitely had the talent. What kills me is, ppl are always ripping Marion and Flojo, but never is there a mention of the manly as marita koch, and all the women from Europe in the 80's. 47.60 in the 400? They havent had a world class sprinter since the 80's.

[Ras09true]

I feel it for chirrupt,she like Ottey and many others where robbed.No wonder she and Ottey are still running, i gave her credit for making the final in Berlin last year.But sadly her time has past, this was supposed to be her glory.But that cheating bitch,robbed her,no wonder she dropped the baton in 04, when Sherone ran her ass down,she didn't lokk dejected like Lauren,because she knew it was pay back because of her cheating ass.

[stu2530]

in running you can only improve so much. she wanted to keep up with the younger ones and took the drugs. many people would have done the same.

[ABPSN21]

wow... the black people came in 1st, 2nd, & 3rd. i bet those white people feel stupid.

[lacheyrulez]

is there any more vids of lauren hewitt, plz upload

[captainthrall]

Marion Jones had been using steroids since high school.

Most olympic athletes could run a 10.6 100-m if they used steroids since they were 15. It's not impressive.

Marion Jones is just a cheating, lying scumbag. 6-months in prison was not enough for her. I truly hope her kid isnt messed up as a result of his mom's drug use during pregnancy.

...what a horrible horrible person

[CHEETAH69]

@captainthrall No. What she had in high school was just unmistakeable, unheard of, otherworldly talent. But I think she peaked, naturally, shortly after. Hence, the uneventful college track career. And she says she began using drugs in 2000. I doubt it. I'm guessng she probably started in 97 when she exploded on the scene and just dominated everyone.

I still like her alot though. Sucks that she cheated.

[nijaexhile3]

@captainthrall Lmao of the naivete of people like you. You're aggressively, actively deluded. I think you're like that because your entire rosy view of sports would crumble if you just accepted what has been known in inner circles for several decades now. In order to compete at the elite level of ANY sport you MUST dope.

[yaoryu]

@nijaexhile3 ''n order to compete at the elite level of ANY sport you MUST dope.''

totally agree with u on this point! i like irina privalova, marita koch, christine arron and marie jose perec, but i know neither of them was probably clean. the fact that they never got caught does not prove that they didn't dope.

still, i enjoy watching them run, because, simply put it, all of those elite sprinters were doped.

[nijaexhile3]

@captainthrall ... Its really just a natural outgrowth of the arms race of competition. Name an athlete in team sports that doesnt regularly trip, poke or grab illegally to gain an advantage... the thing there is a lot of times a ref will spot it and call a foul. Now imagine a scenario where a competitor essentailly cant be caught for their fouls(neither marion jones nor her husband ever failed a drug test)...

[nijaexhile3]

@captainthrall ...Now imagine further that they know others are cheating and not getting caught...Look I know scapegoating individuals feels great. Its awesome to get your outrage on and pretend that all those poor girls got cheated out of the gold by some monster but time to Grow up and wake up...THEYRE ALL DOPING.

[Ras09true]

Sturrup was the real winner, Marian = drugs

[BARBSx2010]

shes GREAT! i swear if you want to find Perfect people just look on YouTube,you people critizie others like your perfect lets put some of the things you do in life on YouTube lets see how it would look?? and if you get MAD at this it must be true.

[ABPSN21]

damn, black people are the best athletes in the world. black people came is 1st, 2nd, & 3rd.

[wasssssupokc]

cheater cheater pumpkin eater...

[Ras09true]

S o that's why Ottey's pr at 34 isn't strange to me, she was running close to that before, so in a one off race, wind favorable wind 10.74 isn't strange. Jetter is totally different, was she doing close to what she's doing now, no, wasn't even breakin 11, so you cannot compare her pr at 29 to Ottey's pr at 34, Ottey was a dam world class sprinter from her debut, like VCB OR SAF, and was consistent throughout, always winning medals and in the running's for gold. Wasn't the same with Jetter.

[Ras09true]

Well if Merline was juiced, why wasn't she banned like Marian, huh? talking about pr at 34, look at Ottey's cat, will you before you talk. Ottey ran 10.78 about 4 times and 10.79 three times plus other sub 11 times and i think a 10.77, it's the same at 200, she was doing sub 22 regularly, she was the most consistent female sprinter, use to kick Flo jo's a** until she got up and ran RC in 88. Even 87, Ottey was unbeaten for the most part, even after her drug allegation, her times never dropped.

[Nickyelunico]

Carmelita Jeter 10.64, without high altitude and drugs! take that Jones!

[cornyspeed]

Why do you guys think that Jamaicans who suddenly appear (SAF) are clean but USA (CJ) are dirty? A PR at 29 is easier to believe than a PR at 35 (Merlene)

[JacobsJaffa]

How can you run 10.65 secs not using, then choose to use?!

She threw her talent away.

[gospelbwoi]

She did! but i guess it was just a really bad choice on her part. She probably thought imagine running 10.65 without the use of drugs and with its use it could have made her a world record holder. Well it proved wrong and made her bulk up but lose pace lol.

[twannifufu]

@JacobsJaffa I completely agree. She already had it.

[TheBlackLesbian]

um, she now plays basketball

[GreenSNYC]

FYI - Marion wasn't on HGH until '99. Notice the difference in her body in this race and in the 1999 100m final. Look at the progression of her physicality from 98-99. For a female athlete that has more estrogen than testosterone in their genetic makeup, the extra muscle mass that is on her frame is pretty abnormal. Look at her in Atlanta and then look at Athens....it's a completely different body. It's a shame...I was truly a fan.

[Ras09true]

No wonder Striuup still competes at 37, she loves track to death and know's she was cheated, she hopes to one day win that gold, but she's now too old, the same with Merline Ottey. At least she won at wc. But i think she smiled when Jamaica got 1,2,3 in Beejing.

[cornyspeed]

Oh please, Merlene was juiced up too. I loved her until her positive test in 1999 and she pr'd at the ageof 35. Chandra trained with Marion under Trevor and you think she was totally clean? Give me a break.

[mohawk393939]

@cornyspeed she got that ruling overturned because her sample was tampered with. It was suspicious from the start, Merlene was the one who held the press conference to announce she tested positive - when does that EVER happen? It's ALWAYS the governing body that announces it. They tried to get rid of her from the sport by offering her an out (feign injury, withdraw from the world championships and retire from the sport and your positive test will never come to light) but she wasn't having it.

[Ras09true]

Chandra Striup was robbed, that was her gold medal right there, Caribbean athletes were denied by cheat far too long. Bahamas went on to win gold in the relays. Pauline Davis was cheated in the 200 as well by Marian. I'm glad most of the cheaters are caught or has to stop using, so now the playing field is a bit level.Hence Jamaican sweep in Beejing. It was a long time coming.

[rufuschughes]

You should see her when she ran in high school!! She was dominant back then!!

[404man]

"johnnyblack1974" if you believe any of that nonsense I got a little Bridge somewhere in Brooklyn (slightly used) to sell you , LOL .. MARION JONES been battling "Doping Issues" Since she was a Teenager when she was threatened with doping suspension & had to hire JOHNNY COCRAN to get her off (you can look it up) .... based on her inditement for PERJURY & her statements after prison it shows she is a liar & a manipulator , why would someone run 10.6 , then get doped up to run 10.8 ?? duh ,

[gospelbwoi]

johnnyblack1974 you are dayum right she was clean here up till late 1999 after the world champs in seville and just look how fast she was running. the drugs made her slower she just bulked up and that was it. Im sure without those drugs she would have run even faster in the 2000 olympics. But we will never know such a pity. still love her as a person though.

[exavdi87]

she shone like a star .then drugs,drugs and drugs... even with all the drugs she used couldn't help her to break the world record.maybe it wasn't her fault.who knows?

[gregsk2012]

even with all the drugs and a perfect figure for sprinting that only a few women in the world have, AND at altitude, she still "only" ran this fast....

in terms of training and technique she mustve sucked

[idontsignin]

to all the people that say jeter is on drugs can i ask a question please.

can you prove she has taken or is taking drugs. if not could you please be quiet until it is proven.

[FoxxyBrown1111]

its like asking pipo to stop talking about god, since its not proven he exists (No i dont think there is one, but many believe)...

Just use common sense!! Jeter was nowhere until late this year. She is (i think) 28, yet everybody knows talent (should) show early.

Only Fanboys/Girls believe in clean pro sports. Jeter looks like Kelli White on big time drugs. I dont need a positive test to see Jeter is doped. Drug-Test dont work anyway, just look at Jones´ 100+ negative tests.

[idontsignin]

unless you can prove she is on drugs then be quiet otherwise you will look foolish

[FoxxyBrown1111]

1st post:

I think you didnt understand my post. Once more and for good:

To prove doping is like to prove that god exists (for those who believe in god). That is impossible to do, since doping tests dont work (see Marion Jones, Jan Ulrich, Marco Pantani, Lance Armstrong etc. etc.). So we have to go by other "evidence", like performance-jumps late in careers, body changes (side effects of doping), blood profiles (not existing in Athletics).

[FoxxyBrown1111]

2nd post:

People who think pro sports is clean are the fools. We are living in the real world, not in a fantasy computer game world.

Dream on, Good night, and good luck :-)

[paulanka2000]

they pretty much trick athletes into admitting it, apparently they even told ben johnson they found a steroid he didn't even use in his body. He prolly didn't even know the exact name of it and admitted it. Once you admit something they make you sign and thats it. The athlete's can always deny what results the test gave.

[idontsignin]

again, do you have solid proof that she has taken drugs id so then show me it. blabbering on about all these athletes means absolutely nothing to me.

[FoxxyBrown1111]

I am sorry for you that you dont get the point, i mean to explain it twice should be enough.

Its pointless to debate with precasted minds of Fanboys/Girls. Dreamers want to dream, while the open minded see the point.

Jeter is doped as all the others coming out of nowhere. Simple as that. Just look at her, the same as Kelli White. That says it all....

[Ras09true]

Jetter's run and tome is similar to Jones.prior to 09,what times were Jetter doing,huh?she's been around for a while and wasn't runnin zip.dodn't even kher her name until she got bronze in 07,wasn't even in Beejing nor.this tells you just how slow she was all her career and suddenly she's 2nd fastest at 29,isn't that strange.

[idontsignin]

not really. my understanding is she switched coaches, that can make a difference.

[phaethon1988]

And of all people, she switched to John SMith, which makes a big difference, lol

[Nickyelunico]

Carmelita Jeter ran at a reg. altitude, without the drugs, and going into a headwind, her 10.67 should be the WR!!

[worldinvideos]

I think this was run at altitude, that's why it was so fast. Jeter's 10.67 is probably the only run under 10.70 without wind, drugs or altitude assistance.

[phaethon1988]

Yeah, this race equates to a 10.75 at sea level. Jeter run was into a slight headwind. Amazing!

[RRRuser]

here whole career is shame, drugs and drugs, what next? a legal drug?

I guess of them are on drugs, even 2nd and 3rd? how can people umprove time all the time. Ok, it is partially becayse of amunition, but in hasn't changed much for 20 years

[tww08]

she was well on drugs here aswell fucking bitch

[ozinmanc]

I don't understand that if she was 'clean' here and running 10.65, that she needed to take drugs in order to run slower times in 2000.

She disgusts me.

[TheBlackLesbian]

you are an idiot, do not take medication

[ozinmanc]

@TheBlackLesbian But I don't take medication.

What on earth are you trying to communicate here?

[karrtt1234]

@ozinmanc She wasn't clean here.... please

[ozinmanc]

@karrtt1234 I don't believe she was clean here either. I do think she would have been good enough to be competitive with other athletes who were clean. i don't think we will ever find out who was and who wasn't. Not ever

[karrtt1234]

@ozinmanc You are probably correct in that statement. It is probably even fewer than we think, but as far as Ashford goes I believe she was clean. I remember when Jones ran this time... it raise suspision, even though no really said anything. She has said that she only took drugs during the 2000's... I don't believe her.

[puertorricane]

@ozinmanc who said she was clean there.. for all we know she used her whole career

[ena1rume]

@puertorricane well, they didn't prove that

[puertorricane]

@ena1rume once a cheater always a cheater you cant prove it but do we have to

[turboreattore]

@ozinmanc the answer is simple, she has never been clean. A little less doped than Flo Jo, at least Marion Jones has been punished.

[AFineHog]

@turboreattore Yeah, exactly!

[Slayton701]

@turboreattore -- i appreciate you criticising a person thats DEAD . and NEVER was

convicted of using steriods . YOUR AN IDIOT . #RIP FLO JO

[turboreattore]

@Slayton701 no one of the DDR gold medalists in swimming and track and field from 1968 to 1988 were never convicted using steroids, so they were not doped? You're an asshole!

[eskieclunge]

@ozinmanc

u disgust me u average dickhead sitting on youtube critisizing peple

[tnus3]

@eskieclunge u disgust me u average average dickhead sitting on youtube criticizing people who criticize people who get criticized, you critical criticizer.

[xwingclass]

@ozinmanc biggest mystery of all time this girl was no ben johnson ben was 5th 6th in 84' way behind lewis and smith. but MJ was a real talent i dont get it i want someone to ask "girl why?' the last clean athlete was i think calvin smith.

[TheAngeltoDemon]

@ozinmanc silly comments, ALL THE ELITE TAKE PEDs, some get caught some don't

[ft192]

@ozinmanc I think the reason why she took the drugs in 2000 was to ge through the five events. Remember, at the 1999 Worlds in Seville Spain she won the 100m and then had to pull out of the 200m and the rest of the competition . I believe that the drugs were for stamina so she could get through five events and not to break any records.

[Fatima502]

@ozinmanc Exactly, and she ran 10.68w in July 2000, so why on earth would she decide to start taking drugs (as she has claimed) that September ?

[Marslander2030]

@ozinmanc she was the hugest talent ever, she already pay with the interests for her mistakes.

[floetry30303]

marion jones had the talent i don't know why she used steroids

[TheAngeltoDemon]

@floetry30303 Cause he compeittiion was, cause the steroids were undetectable (until Trevor Graham blew the whistle on Balco), and cause she went for 5 events, which really is impossible due to the wear and tear. She gambled for immortality and lost...But the thing is, it isn't just the sprints, the sprints just get the most publicity.

[aquamarineeyes]

JONES IS A DRUGGIE PERIOD! END OF!

[phaethon1988]

Her form wasn't even all that good, and neither was her start(although she's the co American record holder in the 60m,6.95secs). I think had she improved her form, like Bolt, Flojo records could have been challenged. Now I think Shelly Ann Fraser can do it. But Veronica sticks out in my mind. her race in Shanghai last Saturday made it clear for me that she can do it. I mean veronica had a 0.567 reaction time, and still won the race in 11.01! Think about if she had had a good start....

[bossofalltime]

Marion's start was pretty good. In her Seville 10.70 she was the fastest ever up to 60m, although her 30-70m acceleration + top speed were what set her apart from the rest. Veronica's reaction wasn't as bad as reported. The video is on youtube and yes her start was poor, but not 0.567 poor. That race was a 10.7 in the making though

[phaethon1988]

Marion Jones was an average starter who at times had good starts. Her 10.70 race had several splits that still haven't been touched until this very day. Veronica Campbell is the main person that can match this speed. Campbell said herself that she was hoping for a 10.6 race last season, which more than likely means that she had the potential at that point to run that race. And yes, her start was that bad. The video did her too much justice. I think that race was 10.6 potential!

[bossofalltime]

Campbell and Shelly Ann are to two best hopes of a 10.6 in the next few years. I say Shelly Ann because of her 10.78 in Beijing with no wind and her good form after Beijing, that WAF win was dominate. Roll on 2009 !

[09090707]

this should be the women's world record, joyner's result is so stinky

[Aarontlondon]

ERRR This is even more stinky than Flo Jo's WR time. Don't be so naive to think Marion was not on drugs when she ran this race just because she (the admitant liar) said she wasn't! She was on heavier drugs here than she was in 2000 season.

[zunkfunkt]

She did not need that stuff to win. I blame people for pressureing her to take the stuff. She was a natural

[Trackstar2000]

She was clean during this period and after 2000
