Gwen Torrence leaves me with the impression when something doesn’t go her way she’ll come up with something to cause a distraction from her own failings, a lot of these “outbursts” or whatever you want to call them made herself unpopular with fellow athletes, Juliet Cuthbert in particular. Do a google search on “Gwen Torrence drugs” and read some of what comes up.
BTW I have loads of 1990s Grand Prix races including 1996 but as my channel states I don’t do uploads anymore.
(cont) attempted to create a media storm when rightfully DQ'd from the 1995 200m World final though most will know the infraction caused little difference in the actual result, regularly brought up the subject that Katrin Krabbe beat her in 1991 allegedly on drugs so the medals should be given to her instead, pointed fingers at Flo-Jo’s improvements in 1988 (but then who hasn’t)....
Gwen Torrence proved her character after the 1992 100m Olympic Final. Couldn’t stand to lose so threw slanderous drug accusations with no proof at those ahead of her and only apologised to those concerned when the IAAF threatened to suspend her, moaned about Ottey and not her being given the 200m 1993 World title in a few press interviews at the time....
I just love '90s. If enybody have any races from the '90s, please upload them :) Love Gwen Torrence so if u want to see some videos of her visit my blog. atletismo-mundial.blogspot.com

@Alanthrathleticsfan, Gwen Torrence seemed extremely gracious after this race. Gwen just spoke her mind: point blank.
