If you look at how she improved so much from the previous Olympics and the amount of time she slashed off the world record - about 7 tenths of a second I think then as much as she was great she was a cheat in my book. Still loved her though!
That bitch was bad...let's admit it! Okay, if she USED drugs, she was STILL the best performer w/enhancements. If she did NOT use drugs, well, we can all see her flaws and advantages. She was a 200/300/400 runner that had a horribly slow start, and tons of "eventual" speed. Even in these races where she killed the field, she came from behind with her endurance and won...look back to the Grand Prix in 85' where folks didn't accuse her of using drugs...same thing. Imagine her in 1992!!!
if u think about i think they were all on drugs for the 100m, 200m ,400m because in the 100m know one ever gets close to it 200m know one ever gets close to it and 400m definately know one gets close to it...
Just look at the muscles.....drugs drugs drugs.....she's intelligent in developing muscles where it matters...the thigh and calf. Thats why she's so much faster than the other drugggies
@rexus82 There is no proof (available to the general public anyway) that flo-jo was on the 'roods, but I also assume it as a fact. Doesn't stop me enjoying these runs though. What about you?
Huh? To answer your question...a series of things could have happened. Pulled hamstring in the middle of a race due to her lack of experience performing at that level. Heart attack in the middle of a race. 10.2 if she used enhancements/more enhancements. Disqualification from being caught. WHATEVER...shoulda, coulda, woulda...shut the fuck up.
Agree everyone has freedom of speech here and nobody can tell anybody what to put down on their comments. However good bad or indifferent.One thing is certain though people this is still after nearly 20 years still an issue, so its inevetible its going to be discussed.
Drug useres have a very low orousal level which makes u start off slow.
FLo jo never took drugs u cant just look at a performer and say they used drugs when she has proven that she didnt by taking tests and if doctors and tests say she didnt well then she obvisoly didnt so enough drug talk or dont post somple as that.
No what im saying, is if you you dont have anything nice to say then dont say it, no one here has proof of drugs when there is so much proof saying she didnt take drugs, so u get a life or rack off.
If u don't like what people post then don't log on to read them. No one is going to agree about everything are they. I suggest u join the real world or take a bit of ur own advice. (Waits 4 abusive reply which will enivatably follow)
Back then they didn't have tests for a lot of the drugs, they still don't. Florence was thought to have taken HGH or human growth hormone, which is why her heart was grossly enlarged when she died. Just look at her stride frequency, it's beyond normal, and as was posted above, if she was 'clean' what could she have done with drugs, 10.20? it's kind of obvious. No one has come within 3 tenths of her time since.
So true of testing in the 80s and 90s. There are drugs today yet to be detected. The only reason The Clear (THG?) was discovered was because coach Trevor Graham sent a syringe with the substance to the US Anti Doping Agency in order to bring down a competing athletes. Whats ironic about him doing that is two of his prominent trainees were Justin Gatlin and Marion Jones. What a stupid Guy. He was subsequently banned from US Track & Field because several athletes he trained were testing positive.
Isn't that amazing that in the 20 years since Flo Jo ran 10.49 in the 100m Marion Jones fastest is about 5 metres slower 10.7, surely technique, diet etc would allow woman to run faster nowadays.....drug cheat, er, ah, I think so!!
Let her rest! jebjoncula let her rest!
