Koch was outrageously jacked up on steroids, as was the Czech 2nd place finisher, Jarmila Kratochvilova. When secret East German files were declassified in 2005, Koch's steroid use was CONFIRMED for all time.
Marita Koch set WR's from 60-400m, NO PED can give you the astonishing combination of speed and endurance that Marita had, you have to be born with it, and if you think otherwise you know nothing about human physiology or how PED's work.
She is without ANY question, the greatest human athlete (man or woman) who has EVER lived.

@markguest36 No Irena Szewinska was a better athlete... Martia didn't compete in the jumping events like Fanny and Irena.

Whatever the controversies, these East German women were a pleasure to watch when they were in their heyday! Thank you for the post!
