As for Ottey I still don't think she has officially announced her retirement.last time I heard she tried for Beejing at 47,but did not meet the qualifiying standard.the Hanover yam and dashine still stand strong in her.
How can a drug user still run at 43 yo,didn't see her in Athens E2004,made 100 semis and pull a muscle in 200 quarters.look at flo jo at 39,that's the person who seem to be on drugs,wake up

I feel sorry for Merlene because she was cheated out so many times not by these instances but more so to do with competing against drug cheats. However the Jamaican's are making up for it now with Usain and even the women sprinters, I guess the Americans are going to have to find some new drugs to win

Ottey took this one fair and square she is almost an entire body length ahead of devers. But thats LIFE! She has been cheated so many times out of her gold medals its not even funny... even by the tip of Gail Dever's nails. And for that clever person who finds it funny that "J"amaica never won in these situations, I concur, cause they have always been cheated out!!!
Ottey tested positive 3 times in 1999. When the new of her second positive test was released at the World Championships in Spain -she fled. On July5,1999 at Luceren,Switerland both her A & B samples test positive for nandrolone.
stupid fucking shithead... stop using wikepedia. ...u fucking asswipe. Wikipedia isn't gospel .....and since ur going to quote wikipedia, why did you fail to mention the part where the IAAF cleared her of all the charges?? and that the lab that tested her for being positive came under intense investigations and was later shutdown.
GO SUCK OUT UR MOTHER PUSSY.... it must burn ur skin to see the jamaicans dominating now!! .. move u bomboclaut from yah so!!
Sorry I don't use wikipedia and never have, I read so I know what I am talking about ...maybe you should try it, and only a low life,dumb ass,Jamacian loser ... such as yourself - would use such language and disgusting comments ! It show how weak your response and u, really r ! Secondly if u stop reading wikipedia u would know that the CAS dimissed the charges on techiqaulities, she was never cleared by IAAF !, in fact that is who brought the charges against her.
Further WADDA was formed, almost soley because of this case, and she did test positive - the IAAF mistakenly retested her samples and made mistakes doing so and were unable to correct them in time, thus the CAS dimissed the charges, the retested formula was turned upside down, and the didn't realize there mistake in time, after time had elapsed, the tests were cleared and were positive but it was too late. Thus WADDA formed, so thanks Merlene !

@jokerwildest YOur a fucking fool. All the Americans then were cheats. All of them use to test positive. U wonder why they cant perform against the jamaicans now? I do
@jokerwildest please get you fact straight one was tested negative hence the banned was lifted after 11 months.I certain the if she did use it she wasnt area maybe it could be in some medication that she was taken at the time or someone set her up which the did because she was the biggest powerfull force to be wrekond with
The decision on the photo-finish was a 4/3 split here by the judges in Stuttgart. Ottey dips cleanly whereas Devers twists her torso and uses her shoulder - this makes it much harder for the judges to decide where 'the torso' begins. The same happened in Atlanta. Had we the same photofinish equipment back in 1993/6 then Ottey and Devers would have shared a Gold medal!
this is true, ottey has a much cleaner dip than devers, who twists her shoulder forwards... however they both run so impressively. It's just breaks my heart to see ottey run at such speed, she even makes devers look sluggish toward the end of the race... How i wished she won...
What are you talking about? They did not go by the head; they went by the chest! Although Ottey would have LEFT Devers had there been another meter, reality is, Dever's CHEST did cross the line just before Ottey's. It is very clear when you look at the video from many camera views, as they displayed the actual date of the finals. Devers won...it's that simple.
No she didnt win..americans are cheaters as usual and now you all got what you deserve completely shut out of the 100M by JAMAICA. Cheaters never win in the end!!!
Your tears are sooo yummy...Jamaica whipping your ass and its making you mad LOL!! your tears I love your tears and your whining it lets me know we whipping thats ASS real GOOD!!!
@busysignal876 you are continuing the already damaging and hateful reputation Jamaicans have as homophobes, and that last part of your statement is tasteless and offensive, not matter who you are talking about. Did your parents raised you to be the bigot that you are, or is it just the jamaican culture?
the great red white and blue?! Pshhh Its all about the BLACK GOLD AND GREEN ! ! !
only reason y Jamaica didnt dominate be4 is countries like America and the UK convinced the rising talent in Jamaica that if they want to get ahead they must go to there country
This is the first time the MASS of the JA talent stayed in JA...
Jamaica has been putting out the fastest people... This time there not gonna give some other country there sprinters
doh thats what am looking at....i think Ottey should get another look at that,since we are more advanced in technology,that would have proved that she is the real winner,Fuck drugs out Devers Fuck the U.S
We all saw the photo taken at the finish. Gails shoulder clearly got to the line before Ottey's torso. And if you think damn-near 40 year old Ottey, who still was running sub-10.90, was clean you're a Martian.
Gail Devers won this race, she had the better lean get over it! I love Merlene Ottey, but she is not a big race performer. Case in point, before the 91 word championships she was undefeated in the 100 & 200 meters/fastest times since Flo Jo. Not only did she get beat, but she placed third. The 1996 200 meter should have been a easy win, and Marie Jose-Perec beat her in a time much slower than Merlene's best.
merlene ottey runs horrible in this race..she looked like she was about to drop down lol....gail is a beast!! big up

Ottey's start had most often been bad. It cost her precious time to straighten up and stride fluently.
Pity her arm swing also seemed to deter her forward motion, or she could have flown.

If it ends in a photo-finish, the only way to decide the winner is either:
1. Closer scrutiny of the race-ending using accurate technolgical expertise. or...
2. Who's got the nicest ass.

Marlene Ottey and Gail Devers crossed the line with their chests at the same time, so they deserved to win both, two gold medals and one bronze.
One doesn't win a race with the head but with the cheat, so Mrs. Devers pretended to cheat the judges and she made it!!!
