steroids - clearance time for orals - less than one week. for injectables three weeks.
but even after this time the increase gene transcription cause by steroids coupling to nuclear receptors will remain for a while enough for u to still experience the effects, such as increase nitrogen uptake, muscke growth and blood cell production.
@chris6878 she is still quick as hell. im sure there have been 100s on stronger protocols, better drugs,but still not as quick, its a unique speed endurance combination she had, much like usain and some of the others on the circuit, u add drugs to that, it will be insanely.
@sciencestudent342 yea alot of people think that if any sprinter takes drugs they will just become super fast. Take ben johnson. How long did it take for his record to be broken. Yes he took drugs, but they were basic in comparison to what is out now, plus the advancements in track surfaces and shoes. Same with flo jo
The 10.49 should be wiped from the record books as its widely accepted that the wind gauge was faulty. Put a 5.0 m/s wind behind Bolt and he would set a ridiculous time that would never be touched.
Having 2 Olympic games sounds great in theory but putting it in2 practice would b impossible, also it's 2 late now as everybody wants 2 c sprinters setting world records at every race..I personally think the drug free games would die a very slow death...
@truthfulexposure No one is giving credit where credit is due. Flojo had the greatest sprinting form in the business!! Just look @ her 10.49 for a lesson in sprinting form. Speed + form = WORLD RECORDS!! The drug accusation is just as u said a "Theory"
@callenpayne02 drugs plus great genetics equals great times. look at bolt. At age 15 he ran 20.5. Put a animal like that on drugs and you get 19.1. IF he is on drugs. lol
It has been DECADES and Flo Jo's record still has NOT been broken. People on steroids still HAVE NOT broken her record. Your THEORY of her being on steroids comes from PURE jealousy and envy. Flo Jo was ONE OF A KIND. Period.
It's the true story of Sam Fussell,an educated guy who takes up bodybuilding because he doesn't feel safe.The stories he tells are so funny I cried with laughter,he really meets some weird and wonderful characters along the way.Oh and he tells u the whole truth about what drugs really do.Chris I highly recommend this book.
Chris I could'nt agree more Ben never came across as a really likeable guy when interviewed on tv(BOLT does),that's the difference..I've never had any respect for Carl Lewis because even now all these years later he can't admit and say yeah I USED DRUGS,all athletes do who are at the top of they're game..As for having 2 olympics,1 drugged 1 natural I would also watch both because I love athletics..On a lighter note if u like bodybuilding u have 2 read MUSCLE By Sam Fussell,I swear
Chris u could b right,maybe Bolt is 2 well know now but so was Ben Johnson back in 88 and they still made an example of him,surely no1 is untouchable..How about this as a solution,have 2 olympics 1 for drug free athletes and another for drugged athletes,which 1 do u think would get the biggest audience? And which 1 would u watch?Just a question..
@thomasstanners1967 Well Ben had alot going against him. He was not as personable as bolt is. Plus Carl lewis and the USATF hated him. I still think carl had something to do with him failing that drug test for something that he wasnt even taking. The olympics would be just like bodybuilding is today. No one pays any attention to the natural bb contest. All the money is at Mr olympia and other big shows like that. People want to see amazing performances, not slow clean times.
@thomasstanners1967 I would also watch both just because I am a real track fan and athlete. But the general public would watch the drugged olympics. And that is were all the money would be.
@thomasstanners1967 I remember hearing someone suggest this idea years ago and have always been fascinated by it. I agree the money would be in the drugged games (I would love to watch 8 women run under 10.5) it could also have the added bonus of making the un-drugged more pure because, like the old days, it would be amateur and the athletes would be competing for personal glory, not fame and money. I would absolutely watch both also. Let's make it happen ;)
I've just read on Google news that he was out at a club with friends and was given an energy drink that had stimulants in it(if that doesn't insult your intelligence nothing will)..What athletes have 2 understand is that the average Jo public is not stupid and they know what goes on in athletics..Chris you seem like an intelligent guy but I do think at the 2012 games they'll be trying 2 catch mr BOLT..
@thomasstanners1967 Naw bolt is in the upper echelon of track right now. If they did that the amount of money that would be lost would be catastrophic. If they wanted to catch him they would have done it a few years back. He is a house hold name across the world. Lil guys like mullins and mike are only known buy track heads. Bolt is the jordan of track at this moment.
I've just read the article on google news about Mike Rodgers,apparently he was out with friends at a club and was given an energy drink with stimulants in it(if that doesn't insult peoples intelligents
Yeah I read about him on google,tested positive for a masking agent,doesn't say what anabolic drugs he was on but it doesn't matter now as he's looking at a 4 year ban.He really should know better..This is just a warning,everybody knows who they're really after.
@thomasstanners1967 well they wont mess with bolt. He is the cash cow like marion, carl and flo jo was. We all know carl was dirty......mike rodgers tested positive also
Chris im old enough to have actually watched this race on tv as it happened on the day..Its the same thing with Ben Johnson he also did nothing wrong,people have to understand that when your competing at the highest levels of sport everybody is trying to stay one step ahead of they're rivals (you know what i mean)..If you havent already read it go and buy the speed trap by Charlie Francis or watch the documentary Bigger Faster Stronger..
Greatest ever!!! Her technique is what made her above the rest..All of the world leading sprinters figure out how to use drugs it's the nature of sport today, especially in her time. Average everyday people use them just to get through their average days (caffine) advil, along with the other everyday drugs. Athletes do what it takes to be the best if it's the ultimate goal.
This isn't directed at FloJo but just because so many people are on the subject of performance-enhancing drugs--do athletes really feel like they've accomplished something by winning with steroid assistance? As an athlete I never would take any; I'd know I was a loser.
Why is it so hard to believe some one can be this fast? She was a great, why hate? your only mad because you would never be as great as her. Thats it. She's one of my idols!!!
She sounded like a man, Marian never sounded anyway like this and she was full to the hilt.Ive listened to LOTS OF THE FEMALE ATHLETES and they sound like females.jETTER'S VOICE IS VERY HARD AS WELL,it's not far from Flo's,but people like LWilliams,Muna Lee, Sonya richards sound like females
So what everyone is saying is that the winner was a drug user, but the second and third and fourth and fifth and sixth seventh and eighth place never used drugs....bull shit if you can prove that one person used drugs then they probably all used it. Let the woman rest in piece. Love Flo.
Really....are you so angry at her that she needs to go to hell? You no i could understand if she was out killing people or even doing something that most of the other athletes were not doing. Some of you people just run your damn mouth too much and stupid shit comes out.
the autopsy cleared her of allegations that she used performance-enhancing drugs. The coroner noted that the autopsy records showed that she did not die from drugs or banned substances.
This is what WIKI states. everything ELSE is BS. She did not take drugs, there is no proof of it. FACE IT! DEAL with it! LIVE WITH IT!
@InsaneGoonRules I sure hope you say this to every Single American Soldier killing Arabs.... and the American Government.... basically USA as a whole if you want this girl who just RAN to burn
@InsaneGoonRules she is, she took away the glamour of the sport from the honest female athletes, and more over they confirm that she ran the 10.49 in a 4.9m/s head wind, and no one query it, no wonder she die so young too much cheating with the steroids
She never once failed a random drug test giving by USTAA . My question to you would be if you hate her so much why are you continuing to watch her videos. Her performance amazes you so much that your small mind cant seem to comprehend that , her accomplishments were totally reasonable and well deserved. Get a life and stop be so negative, I'm sure there is plenty of room for you in hell.........
@InsaneGoonRules you burn in hell flo jo had worked hard for her speed, and some of it is natural, look at kendall baisden she is 15 and runs a 11.55 and has a long way to go until she goes pro some people have speed so stfu!!!!!1
@InsaneGoonRules Avergae people use drugs everyday to function...stimulants like coffee....drugs like pain pills. So people like you "cheat' everyday just to be average, Imagine what it takes to be the Worlds Fastest Athlete. But you said it yourself your "insane"?
She definitely gained muscle mass and definition (same thing with Ben Johnson) and she improved her time markedly in fact so much so that no female has come close to her incredible rapid improvement. In 1986 she was a bank clerk and out of shape, but she went from Kate Moss to freaking She-Hulk in 1 yr. to 1.5 yr.?!?! Definitely questionable. Also she suspiciously retired before harsher drug testing took place in 1989, things that make you go hmmmmm.
Flo jo was forced to retire!!!!!! She lost millions of dollars in endorcements , why????? She worked hard for all those years to just suddenly "retire"???? NO ONE CAN ANSWER THAT QUESTION!!!!! WHY THE SUDDEN RETIREMENT???? AND NO AUTOPSY???? I SAY DIED HER BACK UP !!!!!! IF YOU DO NOT AGREE THEN YOU ARE IN DENIAL!!!!!!!!! BTW, she refused to cut white peoples hair. there you go.
Why can't the female sprinters who did take steroids beat her time then. That should tell you that steroids does not make a person break world records. That's ashame that people cannot except that she was a great sprinter and worked very hard to get them gold metals.
Let's face it, she used drugs. I believe they call this CHEATING! Hate to defingrate the dead but how about the living runners who can't match that 10:49 time and a chance to make history? Yes, she (& Regina, Mary Decker, Ben, etc. )betrayed their sport and stole glory from honest athletes. I feel sorry for those who came in second to these low-lifes!
I remember this event like it was yesterday. Flo Jo was always a trend setter . She was truly a unique indivdual, who was ahead of her time. The women in todays' track and field copy her style. But there can be only one "Flo Jo"!
I'm currently reading 'Speed Trap' by Charlie Francis who coached Ben Johnson and apparenty, drug taking was rife amongst the USA athletes... some did test positive but a cover-up was in operation...
Gee ya think, it is a well know fact that drugs were rampit in the 80's, and the cover-up , well just go on line there are several articles to read... the 84 games were a joke, and the worst cover-up in Olympic history! Maybe while Canada had the Dubin inquiry ... the rest of the world shouldn't have stuck it's head in the sand. Did you know that a French chemist lost his life because he was going to expose a US cover up at the 88 games. continued...
He had the names of 12 US athletes that tested positive for steriods at the games. The IOC appartently accepted money from the US OC (the richest and most powerfull OC), to cover it up. At the 84 LA games the US Olympic organizing committe got into the room of the president of the IOC, and into the safe were there were documents of the athletes that tested positive and they removed and destroyed. These things have all been covered up over the years.
oh whatever u say doeznt matter cuz u still dnt have the proof so who cares..... shez still the best and yes that may be my opinion but itz also a fact so BLAH to YOU!!!
The fact remains that in a 6 month span her 100m times went from 10.90 to 10.49! That is impossible to achieve without an "aid" of some sort! Funny how she retired right before the MANDATORY drug testing! Hmmmmm
people think that just because she out ran other sprinters, she is on drugs. in that case she didn't have to work hard in preparing for the olympics. that's the goal of a sprinter....you want to be fast and out run the other sprinters and break records. r.i.p flo jo.
I find watching Flo Jo simply captivating! Some people don't realise that this woman was a world class athlete before she peaked in 1988!
As much as I love watching her, there is doubt in my mind as to whether she used performance-enhancing drugs... she's leaving behind a world class field here - including the fantastic Evelyn Ashford!
You are correct FloJo was world class before '88. However, she was not the dominant sprinter prior to '88. I just don't see how someone can advance their times so drastically, in a four year span, without assistance. Training and technique can only do so much. If her races were at least competitive I would have no concerns. But she obliterates everyone, and world records.
Doped or not... is just amazing how she runs... anyway she is a legend.. in 20 years people will talk about, before and after FLOJO..I saw this race alive, well on the tv.. when it was transmitted, I was 10, and I still remember..
WTF ever dude, she did not take any drugs, if you are claiming she did then show the proof since you think you know it all. or you can just shut the hell up with these stupid, jealous accusations... and yes i said JEALOUS cause you dont got skill like she did,then go somewhere and stuff donuts in your loud mouth. i mean damn, just let her rest in peace!!!!
@jazzyp93 blah blah!!! She was juiced!!! Marion Jones never failed a test so does that mean she was clean!!?? Does it fuck!!! she cheated just like Flo Jo did in 88!! I believe pre 88 her performances to be clean!!
Its an indictment of our time that people want to make money and in athletics there is a lot of money. The East Germans/USSR athletes were more victims - Marita Koch, Barbel Wockel etc. Victims of a system. There is still drugs in athletics today it just gets masked easier.
why should she have to have taken drugs to run fast thats just ridiculous. if she did take drugs she would have been way bigger and more many but she wasnt. she was just fast dumbass haters.
I can see by the comment you just made that you have the slightest idea what you are talking about. Track athletes take drugs for recovery not to get big. lol this aint bodybuilding. I really dont feel like breaking it down to you. Just trust that you have know idea what you are talking about
The other poster is right - you know nothing about steroids and how they work. Just shut up and stick to things you can comment intelligently on - this topic is not for you.
@CaneFu wow. lol. internet audacity much? i can comment on anything i want. and on any topic i want. so shut yourself up and mind your own conversations before you tell someone to do so.
You muppet...how niave are you??? Everyone in athletics KNOWS she was on steroids and growth hormone. it was the worst kept secret in track history. Her physique changed dramatically in one offseason. She had horrible skin (thats why she had so much make up on all the time) and her voice deepened. Im sure you believed McGuire and Canseco were clean also...
@vickersfan - but she did get bigger, she did get stronger, her voice got deeper and as a result she was able to run faster. Just like Ben Johnson and Linford Christie she suddenly started beating people she couldn't beat before. Wake up to reality dude. She was a fine athlete who almost certainly cheated because she wanted to win. Athletics is rife with the problem.
I dont think Flo Jo's body was that muscular...Female runners today are WAY more muscular than Flo Jo was... Are you all suggesting they are taking steroids too? I've seen some athletes today make the SAME dramatic improvement (time) and no one makes the same kinds of accusations. Let the woman RIP...Please!
the only reasons these records won't be broken is because drug testing is much better these days. back then they could get away with much more powerful shit (look at the german and soviet 400m and 800m runners from the 80's, its a joke)
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Why the f*** Flo-Jo has to take all that steroids? A women just can't run that fast....Marion Jones proved that she can't run so fast without doping, so how the f**** can Flo-Jo run 10.49 clear? What would people do for 5 minutes of fame....
well....5 minutes fame..but she had all the retards worshipping her and saying her to be "all natural". maybe its worth it. Its Bob Kersee behind her "spectacular" rise.
u sound like a dumb azz women can run that fast when my mom was in high school she would always would win a race with her speed so just shut yo dunb azz up
As a kid I also thought Heike Drechsler, who came second here, was a goddess. She later admitted that she was forced as part of the GDR effort to be 'juiced'. So I gave up believing; funnily enough I believe in Armstrong. Maybe I am a Retard!
I am not a betting 'dude' but I would bet anything that she was 'wired' to the gills. You don't change your body like that and become capabel of 300lbs + squats by doing sits ups and press ups. You need a reality check.
10.49 is still a respectable time for a bloke (perhaps not U. Bolt). Jesus - people bang on about Lance Armstrong being a doper because he was just too good; at least he had the decency not to climb L'Alpe D'Huez in 10 minutes. This bitch was wired.
The problem, not that you would understand, was in the 'touch typing'. I can actually do it! Obviously though, not to the same standard as an office bitch. Why tossers like you scrutinize YouTube for typo's is beyond me; I think that you are most probably a homosexual.
lmao wow yea im a homosexual like that has anything to do corecting someones spelling yea i bet u feel so smart good job. :D and if u cant sense the sarcasm by now my comment is right that you are a certified retard.
Don't know what you are talking about! I saw some news footage of the girl yesterday; seriously, I don't want to speak ill of the dead and I have always been a serious fan of Athletics, but you could see the shadow of a bloody moustache beneath the make-up. I remember her from only a year or so before, as a beautiful young woman and a good athlete; her transformation was NOT normal and anyone who thinks otherwise is not right in the head.
Dude why the f are u hating on her so bad? And the fact that she passed away is even worse. I mean seriously she did dozens of test and they all came out NEGATIVE. So don't give me that shit with the mustache, because there are plenty of other women that have mustaches and they don't take steroids. Smfh. It kills me when ppl like you make stupid accusations that amazing ppl like her are taking steroids. Damn your so fucking ignorant that its almost impossible to type to you so stfu and move on.
Hate! What the hell are you talking about? As I have said, I have always loved athletics and athletes and unlike many, been inspired by the fantastic performances thereof; as opposed to sneering at anything remotely 'good' as is fashionable today. Have you never heard of the hormonal doping and androgenization of females which was a state sponsored effort on behalf of the East Germans and utilized by other nations, before 'dope testing' became more advanced.
so you think that the tecnology behind the testing 20 ears ago were good, it sucked, of have you noticed how everyone had a lot more talent in 1980 ´s, there are a least 6-7 female drug records out there that no one will ever beat!
This is one disturbing video, NONE in any sport goes from being ordinary for the vast majority of their professional career to being the best ever in a SINGLE SEASON, it does not happen. As for proof, I've never walked on the Moon either but I know it's there, I just tilt my head up and use my eyes, simple. Those who believe she was clean fine, that's your choice. Those that think so are usually people with little or no real knowedge of athletics.
If you freeze the video as she finishes.Look back to the last athlete who has done her hamstring . Well Flo-Jo's BEST time in the previous season would put her behind that last athlete. Observe the improvement. The year preceding that one was a bit better and her best would have put her round about fifth or sixth.Still again the improvement is remarkable for a mature athlete.
There is no rule which states an abbreviation has to be separated by a dot; in fact I would argue this is incorrect. Also, I don't give a damn! This is a simple blog on youtube, nobody's going to care whether I omit a dot or I don't! Besides, I didn't ask for your opinion on the validity of IQ tests, so please don't divulge it to me - I'm not interested in it.
She was on drugs, probably testosterone. She displayed all the hallmarks, heavy make up to cover acne, voice lowering, rapid improvement. Flo-Jo was 28 at the time of she ran these times and was only C grade runner at best, then to improve to run these times which are, well, crazy, just plain crazy, she was on drugs and so was Marita Koch and that beast from the Czech Kratachivola.
the yanks r the biggest drug cheats of all time. win at any cost even if it costs u yr life. she never failed a drug test simply because the usa system is corrupt.
Whoah what happened to that one girl who was pretty close to Flo Jo right at the beginning but slowed down massively at the end and finished last? Was it like cramps?
If she's clean then so are a pair of unwashed 20 week old underpants!!! She didn't fail a test, blah blah blah blah blah she must be clean blah blah blah blah. Think I'll smoke some more crack and watch some more Flo jo vids. Blah blah blah she's clean blah blah.
In World Championship 1987, she did not win any medal in 100m. In 1988, she became a monster in sprint event and broke the world record. She is "Female Ben Johnson". Drug cheater.
She did not win any medal in the 100m at the World Chamionships in 1987 because she did not compete in that event!!!!!! She ran the 200m(silver medal) and the 4x1 relay (gold medal)!
It's not hating. I agree she should have ran her own race. She was too worried about Flo Jo so she pulled up. And she pulled up AGAIN in the 4 x 100 relay final allowing Evelyn Ashford and Marlies Gohr to pass her on the final leg to take Gold(USa) and Silver(Germany) medals. She probably wasn't even completely fit for Seoul.
I'm trying to get the joke warmachine but em! that is not funny at all. Marion jones did a similar thing on another page, and that wasnt funny either.
Of course its funny. She should have ran her own race instead of worryinf at Flo Jo. She payed the consequences. And to KantianPositivism, it was she shed LESS than half a second NOT more. Her best was 10. 82 then she went to 10.49. Do the math. And it is possible thru training & weight loss.
So Chunkey70. If she took 3 tenths of her best thru training and weight loss and u believe her clean then what times do u believe her capable of if she tokk performance enhancing drugs. 10.3 -10.4.
Seems a bit ridiculous doesn't it.
That clears up the "was she wasn't she" clean debate then.
Not necessary. Every human body is different. The effects of substances in the system may do ++++ for one person but only ++ for another. So that statement is ridiculous.
I ain't blind mate, I see jeb's point very well. But in reality what Flo Jo achieved isn't IMPOSSIBLE. Highly unlikely, perhaps but not impossible. There's whole lot of proof to suggest that she was clean and there's only speculation to suggest she was not. I go with the proof. Yeah I might be a bit suspicious but there's a whole heap of other athletes I would suspect b4 flo jo. Ottey & Marita Koch, Deschler & Silke Gladisch being some of them.
What's really funny is the athlete in lane 4, thinking she could hang with Flo Jo and challenge her for the gold but look what happemns. I laugh everytime!
hgh - untestable back then
steroids - clearance time for orals - less than one week. for injectables three weeks.
but even after this time the increase gene transcription cause by steroids coupling to nuclear receptors will remain for a while enough for u to still experience the effects, such as increase nitrogen uptake, muscke growth and blood cell production.

This isn't directed at FloJo but just because so many people are on the subject of performance-enhancing drugs--do athletes really feel like they've accomplished something by winning with steroid assistance? As an athlete I never would take any; I'd know I was a loser.

She definitely gained muscle mass and definition (same thing with Ben Johnson) and she improved her time markedly in fact so much so that no female has come close to her incredible rapid improvement. In 1986 she was a bank clerk and out of shape, but she went from Kate Moss to freaking She-Hulk in 1 yr. to 1.5 yr.?!?! Definitely questionable. Also she suspiciously retired before harsher drug testing took place in 1989, things that make you go hmmmmm.

Gee ya think, it is a well know fact that drugs were rampit in the 80's, and the cover-up , well just go on line there are several articles to read... the 84 games were a joke, and the worst cover-up in Olympic history! Maybe while Canada had the Dubin inquiry ... the rest of the world shouldn't have stuck it's head in the sand. Did you know that a French chemist lost his life because he was going to expose a US cover up at the 88 games. continued...

He had the names of 12 US athletes that tested positive for steriods at the games. The IOC appartently accepted money from the US OC (the richest and most powerfull OC), to cover it up. At the 84 LA games the US Olympic organizing committe got into the room of the president of the IOC, and into the safe were there were documents of the athletes that tested positive and they removed and destroyed. These things have all been covered up over the years.

You are correct FloJo was world class before '88. However, she was not the dominant sprinter prior to '88. I just don't see how someone can advance their times so drastically, in a four year span, without assistance. Training and technique can only do so much. If her races were at least competitive I would have no concerns. But she obliterates everyone, and world records.

If you freeze the video as she finishes.Look back to the last athlete who has done her hamstring . Well Flo-Jo's BEST time in the previous season would put her behind that last athlete. Observe the improvement. The year preceding that one was a bit better and her best would have put her round about fifth or sixth.Still again the improvement is remarkable for a mature athlete.
