Linford Christie offers advice to Chinese Olympians

[hardlife1]

yeah but it was a test that he passed only a few months before then all of a sudden he fails after he stop competing very strange we also no the people have failed drugs tests only to be cleared later.

[Ammovir]

he is right! 3:28

[ranhill]

Drug cheat

[camtheman3x6]

like you

[ranhill]

Like me?!!! you could insert an entire vial of performance enhancing drugs directly into my heart and I would still come in last.. Fortunately for ole' Linny, he didn't need quite that much and got a gold medal for his effort.

[camtheman3x6]

yep like you

[ranhill]

Ok then, so be it.

[tobysandeman]

You don't know anything about the history of sprinting clearly ...let alone Linford... so as youre father would have told you... if you dont know about something keep your mouth shut.

[ranhill]

I'm pretty knowledgeable about the sport of sprinting and therefore do know what I'm talking about. LinfordChriSSy = Drug Cheat. Let me remind you, Marion Jones also NEVER failed a drug test. She later ADMITTED to drug use after being confronted with a sample of the drug and then lying about it. So just because you never failed a test doesn't mean you are clean. In the absence of a test all you can go by is performance. For instance, Flo-Jo and Ben went from also rans, to crushing world records.

[hardlife1]

so does that mean bolt is a cheat no 1 can catch him and he breaks records for fun never failed a test yet.

[ranhill]

By the way, maybe it is YOU who should take advice from my father. Apparently, you don't know who yours is to get advise from him.

[juanuco10]

that land is surely in a great economic progress but what about all the people who are suffering from their human rights being violated?

[danflit]

lynford is a legend and the BBC are ssholes for not mentioning his name once during the olympics. He is our true greatest Olympian

[bootymanager]

His friendship with Seb Coe will see that he's honoured in London though. There's a great bond between these to former champions.

[nugentmilicent]

where the fuck did you get that info from bootymanager. Coe and christie hate each other! They had a heated argument on radio some years back where race was bought up. Coe always saw christie as egotistical. Christie felt coe neevr felt the racissm. Fact is it is only recently that linford has been involved in 2012, Coe totally shut out his involvement prior. Totally shambolic way to treat linford a london olympic champion and not involved in the olympic games build up!! (shakes head)

[lshannon41]

Not for me I'm afraid, Christie's career was ended by a failed test for nandralone, we have had many great olympians who have never failed any drug tests, Sir steve Redgrave or Daley Thompson for example, Linford maybe a national treasure in most people eyes. But when I remember him I cannot overlook the fact that his cheating at the end of his competitive days tarnished his entire career.

[hardlife1]

No he stoped competing and then he failed a drugs test so called any way.

Linford took many drugs test and never failed and he was tested for that drug more then once and past every 1.

[lshannon41]

Dwain Chamber has openly admitted he passed lots of drug tests while on steroids, there are always ways for cheats to avoid detection. Linford failed the drug test for nandralone at an indoor meeting in Germany, he received a 2 year ban.

[tobysandeman]

Because u class a rower and multi eventer on the same as a 100m sprinter...... clearly showin you know nothing about the sports

[lshannon41]

the original comment was that linford was our greatest olympian, that statement transcends various olympic events, besides my comment was about drugs, subtle differences between olympic events are not relavent to my comment.

[ranhill]

So sad. Linford is your greatest Olympian? At least Jonathan Edwards was a world record holder.

[MrBusunglueck]

@ranhill the 100m is an other caliber

[bigassballsyes]

He's aged! too much steroids eh Linford, cheating bastard

[nirbija]

wise responses that only a world champion could give
