everyone dopes you idiots at some point during training its gonna happen, and when the games close in they stop. You can't put on that kind of mass and strength without doping. This guy is a great athlete and thrower you can't dope and get good at anything that requires form.
@Hotboiruben2 You are talking absolute bullshit. You can get strong and good without using doping, look at a guy like Jacko Gill and also nowadays shot put throwers are probably all doping free because they can be checked for doping at any time of their day. Also doping brings so many health risks. Maybe in de 80s and 90s doping was used much, but not as much these days
Damnit, Godina should have won this. I cant even see why the olympic committee would even think about letting Barnes compete after 1988. I don't even know why they let him still have the record for shot put, it makes no sense
@JaHetfield666 it does not matter that barnes doped. brian oldfield doped and he said that it is more about form if doping was all u had to do then we would have people throwing over 80 feet very easilly. so it does not matter if he doped or not he had the best form out of everyone
@skylarwill: it does not matter?? For me it's important!! There were also athletes of doping have never taken or on which we have never had any suspicions!! Many times these athletes is deprived of the opportunity to win races and medals from doped athletes! For example, Paolo Dal Soglio just finished fourth in in Atlanta exceeded by Barnes and Bagach which are two athletes who have been disqualified for doping and even disqualification for life! Dal Soglio he could win an Olympic silver!!
@golfmwatson not anyone can do that, if you don't know what you're doing you will essentially destroy your body. as well as having to have the right build to gain the muscle.
@skylarwill Yeah seriously don't go around saying steroid abuse doesn't matter, because it does. That being said, even if you are on steroids it still takes hard work and dedication. Some people are pure talent and doesn't need to train hard or take steroids, while others do to reach the same level! But it's not up to the athlete to decide whether or not one should take steroids. Rules are rules and you need to comply with them, otherwise the structure of competition will fall.
From wikipedia: " In 1998, he tested positive for androstenedione, an over-the-counter supplement (famously used by Mark McGwire) that is banned in track and field"
"Barnes was banned from competing for 27 months after testing positive for the anabolic steroid methyltestosterone at a competition in Malmö, Sweden on August 7 that same year. He sued to have the suspension overturned, but lost."
"...he was suspended from competition in the Olympic Games for life."

@JaHetfield666 I don't think his record should stand. He only achieved that distance because of doping, anyone can do that.
