Merlene lost form at the final 15m and nearly lost to Gwen Torrence. She tended to lose form towards the end all the time and failed to dip subsequently, getting second or third most of the time. Remember how she lost the gold in 200m in 1996 to Perec while leading all the way?
Finally Ottey got the better of those druggist>>> Merlene Joyce Ottey you LARGE a ywad and abroad. such a pity and i say it from heart, you were denied those gold medals becuz of dope
who can forget Gail Devers who had Graves deseases and didnt run for two years and come back and win an olympic gold medal over ottey. drugs again but them drugs done now. Jamaica all the way now.... London ere we come
Ottey no matter what they say about you, i love u and jamaicans love u endlessly... u didnt take drugs like the famous americans. To name a few Gwen Torrence, Florence Grifftihs-joyner who the drug end up killing. wicked cant prosper.
@pearpeas I think she should be a guest of honour to the London Olympics. Who else have competed in the Olympics 6 times in a row, and still be vying for a place for the 8th time? She has no chance of making it but her fighting spirit should serve her a VIP ticket by the Olympics Committee of London.
One year later she came to Jamaica and I was 13 yrs, We all went to Parade to see her, I remember i barely saw her pink dress and black pike heel, thats all i could tell anyone after six hours or pushing and shoving through parade, but we was proud so till. She is a legend and Jamaica loves her
@kullmassive what's sad is that despite her obvious doping, she could only win ONE major championship. maybe she should have gotten her stash from the states.
One of the greatest moments in Jamaica's track and field history!!! Merlene Ottey set the trend 4 our future athletes. Its a pity she have been robbed of her gold 4 soooooooo long!!!
