  • Im here for my Project my teacher gave me Florence

  • Gruggie cunt

  • where steroids happens

  • Love FloJo!!!

  • Here, she is compelely different person than 1984. Something happened during those 4 years.

  • @thegorm1 Look up "gene doping". we may both agree that it is totally wrong to cheat, but this world is one of cutthroat competition. Ethical and moral people do not compete with these cheaters who do anything to win. Once you acknowledge that, you just sit back and appreciate a person that does whatever it takes to win. With "gene doping" or something else, yes they are all on something.

  • @thegorm1 it happens. Not ok, but there is a saying "if you ain't cheatin', u ain't tryin". Never done so personally, but many will do anything to have an edge. Also, it's interesting to see humans push their limits. They try this in sport and in military. Again, never done so, due to being raised with harsh ethics. Also, this happened in my youth, so FloJo just brings back memories of being young.

  • steroid abuse and dead at 38....what an inspiration to children she is......not.

  • @kev1236543 So I guess everyone who is superior at something is on steroids? People need to really just sit down and shut up. Who are you to judge this woman? NOT EVERYONE USES STEROIDS!

  • @AshArmelin I'm glas someone has a brain on here!!! Well said

  • when i look at her muscles, i almost feel a sudden urge to shit my pants.

  • This looks alot like Usain Bolt in Beijing 08. Just sayin, he tested clean too. I just think sprints are very very dirty. It's unfortunate, but it's just reality, as long as people want to see fast times, and as long as one athlete uses them, the others will have to follow to level the playing field. Today's times are just too fast. We haven't evolved as human beings and though training and surface has helped, i think it's more about drugs.

  • Just remember Marion Jones and many other athletes who used drugs were tested over and over and never PED'S were never found. So saying-"She was tested over and over and never PED's were found sounds good but doesn't by any stretch of the imagination mean they weren't using it.Although its fair to say that if they never found it-they cannot take away her records.But still people are allowed to be suspicious when things just don't add up.

  • UN DÍA COMO HOY 21 DE SEPTIEMBRE MURIÓ

    1998: Florence Griffith Joyner, atleta estadounidense (n. 1959).

    (Florence Griffith Joyner - (21 de diciembre de 1959 en Los Ángeles, California; † 21 de septiembre de 1998 en Misión Viejo, California) era una atleta estadounidense especialista en pruebas de velocidad, que ganó tres medallas de oro y una de plata en los Juegos Olímpicos de Seúl 1988 y batió las plusmarcas del mundo de 100 y 200 m.

  • DRUG TIME. 3 White Athletes in the 100m Final wow

  • Marion Jones couldn't beat her.

    Drugs or no drugs, she is a sprinting Legend.

    I do think that she took them, but so what? She captured glory.

    Would like to know from her if it was worth it though.

  • Mmm,just like Ben Johnson I don't think Flo Jo did anything wrong,all sprinters take drugs and that's the facts(sad but true)..

  • unfortunately there will always be a cloud over her head because of the circumstances regarding her killer season and sudden retirement, when they did test her it was negative but the fact she trained much less before shaving almost half a second off her PB in both 100 and 200m and the tested her a way after she set the WR will always make her drug use questionable..still 10:49 is the time to beat..

  • Almost 25 yr's ago she set these records. All the drugs in the world still can not beat her record. Face up people and marvel at watching. The greatest female sprinter .. runner of all time. You just watched History.

  • @crackergurl22 ok let's dope all the athletes and see what happen???

  • U kno so much! Not...

  • nobody had ever heard of her a year before she smashed all the 100 and 200 metre records then straight after the last race at the games she quickly says she is retiring from athletics..she's a druggie cheat and it caught up with her shortly after. women are still struggling now to get under 10.8-10.7 in the 100m even with better training and diets out there. she's a cheat and no two words about it..her times should be scrapped and i stand by what i said about her back in 1988. CHEAT

  • @MrDjc1970 maybe YOU hadn't heard of her. But most in track and field knew her. She was a silver medalist in 84 and in 87. So though she clearly wasn't as fast as she was in her 88 season, she was a well-known athlete.

  • @CHEETAH69 your obviously a yank....enough said.

  • @MrDjc1970 Obviously you're completely ignorant of track and field and in the place of knowledge or facts, you inject suspicion and speculation. Do your research before you comment on a public forum. It's actually pretty simple.

  • @CHEETAH69 shut up u ignorant yank cunt and go play with ur guns

  • @MrDjc1970 haha. what are you, 12? Don't start insulting because you know nothing about a subject you decided to jump into.

  • No steroid use here! Just god given talent

  • @prettyswoops88 Yeah so that's why she died of epilepsy :)

  • I use to go to the school named after her in WATTS L.A SHE ALSO WENT TO THATS SCHOOL!!!

  • Death by steroids.

  • Drug use in T&F was/is rampant so please don't try and lay all this on her lap. That's some hypocritical bullshit. And while we're taking away records due to steroids how 'bout that 400 meter record...what is it...47.60?? GTFOH! The East Germans were doping like shit. Go look at a pic of Marita Koch's manly lookin ass.

  • I remember some guy claiming he sold steriods to her and her husband during the 88 olympics and it was even aired on television. It was a debate between this guy and flo jo. I do remember because of what this guy claimed on air she had to get tested and also because another male sprinter that year came out positive for steriods. She was able to continue racing because they didn't find anything on her. For some reason people forgot about that incident.

  • Modern athlets cheat aswell. They use steroids and noone can beat her time in 100m. This means alot! She is by far the best woman sprinter.

  • It was never proven that she was actually on steroids the Olympic commision did a drug test and there were no signs of drugs in her ! just a stupid claim!!

  • come on stop hating...There's always a faster out of the bunch an that doesnt mean there on drugs,,,,,Your just looking for excuse...She did her Olympics and she wanted to start her career everyone knew she was into fashion big time n wanted a family she had nothing to prove to anyone...Its sad how you get haters on here ...Good job n rest in peace flo.....

  • Flo smoked all them bitches

  • Flo smoked all them bitches

  • Flo-Jo exploded onto the track scene in the later 80's. Not only was she lightning quick but, with her long hair flowing behind her, she was a vision of beauty flying down the track.

  • you have think if it was werth to dope and die so young

  • when you look down write something a note, a card, a letter

  • WOW some people are really pathetic. You have no proof that she was using steriods. i can't believe that people are saying such crap. especially after her death. she should be remembered for the person and athlete that she was. innocent until proven guilty, and since she was not proven guilty to have used steriods, she is innocent. R.I.P. Florence Griffith Joyner. Beautiful on the inside and outside.

  • @guitarbabe21 and I will say WOW some people are just jealous of her cause they will NEVER EVER be as fast as she was .... R.I.P my hero :)

  • I have kempted up with Florance Griffith J since her UCLA days with Evelyn Ashford. She was so buetiful, fast, and spactacular. Was so glad to see her improve since the 84 Olympics. But I must admitt, her performance was looking a bit to good. I began to wonder. she slowed down and still ran 10.5, that was.2 plus faster than the world record. she was dropping WR like candy. I believe Flo was running with somthing other than just good training. look at her body. very muscular, ummm

  • Como volaba en los ultimos 30 metros. Lo que hace el dopaje. Es una pena, porque murió a consecuencia de ello.

  • How many km\h???

  • she cheated ..and then paid the price..dead at 38

  • You are wrong !!! she dead at 39 !!!

  • the should remove all womens records and start again. Flo Jo is an absolute discrace. She was killed because of what she knew. That information could have brought a government down.

  • Can somebody tell me how much km\h was the velocity?

  • sex, DRUGS and rock & roll.

  • DRUG CHEAT

  • STFU! Do you have any proof of any effin steroids?!?! I didnt think so! She was the fastest, get over it! R.I.P Flo Jo!

  • to see this is really pukeful, but americans can cheat and still come away, but she could not come away from her death in age of 38

  • Probably more than meets the eye, but in the final analysis, no evidence on record, so she's entitled to the benefit of doubt. And with her death, it's probably moot as well

  • Doping wins, dirty victory

  • she might ave took drugs coz that season in 88 was her best by a mile n she lost a bit of speed after. in other words she did a marion jones but dint get caught. but well never know...she still gt the world record

  • shes dead

  • thanks drugs !!

  • I remember when they made here take a drug test because someone was making accusations that they sold her steroids during the 88 olympic. so they made her take a drug test the same year with ben johnson. Well she passed and ben johnson did not pass and had to give up his gold metal. she kept hers. She took a few test during the 88 olympics and pass them all.

  • @jaime5429 Just because she failed the test and Johnson failed, does not mean she wasn't guilty. She was simply on something that was undectatable at the time, where as Johnson was not!

  • @Aarontlondon english? what you wrote doesn't even make sense. i think your dumb ass meant to say just because she passed (not failed) stupid fucker

  • @Dismamisupadupaphly Wow u need therapy you sick fuck! It seems your life consists of nothing but cursing on youtube. I feel very sorry for you!

  • @Aarontlondon i actually feel sorry for your ignorance & how illiterate my life consits of cursing on youtube i havent comment on this video a month so how does my life consists of that? what you need to do is STFU YOU ASSFACE before i make you look any more stupid than your already looking you can't make a judgement on how my life is what i do you dont know me from the whole in the wall

  • @Aarontlondon sick fuck i beg to defer bitch you dont know me at the end of the day you replied to my comment that had nothing to do with your funky ass so sfu assface b4 i slit ur throat punk bitch

  • what does drugs has to do withh anything ?

  • @TrackStarSoon Made her win and finally killed here. Testosterone.

  • @runeguldberg no it was a severe epileptic seizure dummy & when they did the autopsy they found no trace of any type of drugs

  • @Dismamisupadupaphly Positional asphyxia, epileptiform seizure and cavernous angioma. This are the three main risks for taking these types of drug. And when it loocks like. sounds like and runs like, taking drugs.. Then is taking drugs.

  • @runeguldberg i dont care what you think or say lmao i dont give a flying fuck so whgat u can do is take your comments & a dick and shove it down your throat maybe you'll stfu than

  • @Dismamisupadupaphly Yes. and of course OJ Simpson is innocent.

  • @runeguldberg yes he is :-) now go to hell

  • @Dismamisupadupaphly And the sting operation against Washington DC mayor Marion Barry at the Vista Hotel by the FBI and D.C. Police for crack cocaine use and possession was all a part of a white conspiracy.

  • @runeguldberg i guess so

  • @Dismamisupadupaphly Well. She didnt die while running.

  • @runeguldberg i really dnt care she doesnt pay my bills

  • I just love to see her run, NO other sprinter with that beautiful flowing technique.

  • @gospelbwoi I agree. Despite my reservations of her clean-ness, she was a beautiful runner.

  • DRUGGIE!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • shut the fuck up sorry ofr my words evryone

  • ahhhhh blow your face off you monkey!!!!

  • @aquamarineeyes drugs or not, no euro pee on was gonna catch her

  • Wind aided?? Jeez ow It's not like she had a tornado behind her. She had a slight breeze

  • All her fast races seems to be wind aided,her 10.54 here was wa and she eased down to put her hands up and celebrate,she probably would have done 10.49 again,so its possible that her wr was wa for true,but she really blew every one away.

  • World record says 10.49? Uhu? Some time from someone else that got suspended later on or what?

  • That was Griffith Joyner's record from earlier that season - still stands as the world record. It's also on youtube.

  • @fatbelly27 Oh I didn't know she still held the world record.. interesting

  • Cheating yank scum,funny how she retired soon after seoul 88 as mandatory drug testing was going to be introduced in 1989.She improved her 100m by nearly half a second and 200m by .62sec in 1988!! posting figures that are both untouched today.

    Yanks need to sort their house out cheating pricks.

  • ur right the data leave no doubt. such improvement are impossible without roids, any professional trainer will confirm that. well, innocent until proven guilty

  • You sound jealous. The fact is you racist pig, that steroid use has been found in athletes in many countries.

  • why is it when someone DARES to criticise Flo Jo they are accused of being a racist???? Race has got nothing to do with it! If she were white or yellow people woulde have made the same suspicious assumptions regarding her AMAZING one season wonder spints! Funny she IMMEDIATELY retired as soon as mandatory drug testing was introduced! hmmm

  • @aquamarineeyes until it has been proven it's your lil opinon at the end of the day she still holds the records & has held them for the past 20 years + now there have been many fast female track & feild runners who for fact has done drugs & still didnt beat her records anywho R.I.P FLO (such a sad death & a beautiful women)

  • @aquamarineeyes

    I agree race has nothing to do with it, just stupidity.

  • @aquamarineeyes

    I have always wondered. She was one of my favorates, but her performance was a bit to good to have took almost two years of before the 88 Olympics. I do believe Flo was running with somthing more than just good training.

  • @aquamarineeyes

    never proven dope taker , look at her style ,the way her legs move . totally re-wrote the way runners do it ,

  • @aquamarineeyes I agree! She was on steroids! period!

  • @aquamarineeyes just a drugged up yank cheating twat...like the rest of them. the u.s moans about the eastern bloc countries in the 70's and 80's...the u.s has had more failed dope tests in the last 30 years...and thats without the mass 1996 atlanta cover-up

  • @aquamarineeyes i think she wanted people to think she was on drugs.. just like bernard hopkins..so they coudlnt learn her skill her way..

  • well said rjsj9803!

  • She was incredible in every sense of the word.

  • Comment removed

  • Damn she ran so fast she made one of the other girls pull a hamstring trying to stay with her. Flo-Jo was the greatest ever!!!!!

  • If she didn't  cheat then the man really stepped on the moon.

  • everybody knows she wasnt natural same as johnson

  • damn shes fine.

  • no evidence what so fucking ever so get over it people she dies from a suffocating into her pillow come on people she has seizures since she was a kid the things people say when people are dear is no wonder America is hated!!!

  • how'd we get into country hating? wtf?

  • i prob shouldnt have said that but look at the world of americans which i am in but im not like most ,they hate everything MJ,OBAMA,WHAT THE FIRST LADY IS WEARING for hell's sake people she only wore shorts lol

  • yea, as an american, we are pretty petty sometimes. but, i guess every culture has its flaws

  • yea its a shame really to be so petty when on the most retarded things lol

  • thats cause the first lady is a hoe

  • lol some people really are lost in the world ashame

  • very.

  • Suspicion is all that will ever exist. There is no definitive evidence and there is no proof that she took drugs. It's just suspicion. That's all.

  • her records shhould be removed

  • Why? You can't remove a record due to suspicion. There has to be solid proof!

  • @LyonsStudios can't prove it GET OVER IT LOL! R.I.P Flo - Jo......will always love you

  • @LyonsStudios why do you think her records should be removed?

  • @1hotandsmartman ye coz she was on steroids

  • @LyonsStudios she died from an epileptic attack

  • @LyonsStudios uhmm why??

    

  • that woman that pulled up, would have come a close second..

  • Comment removed

  • Comment removed

  • she was dopped as Incredible Hulk and died of brain seizure due to this drug abuse.

  • Her seizures had nothing to do with drug abuse. She used to suffer seizures as a child. You shouldn't distort the facts just to add weight to your own suspicions. Maybe she was doped but that not why she died

  • drugs can generate brain seizures or worsen a latent illness. It's obvious that a person that uses these drugs in industrial amounts as Florence Griffith did (i'm sure she was ultra-drugred to improve that much in only one year) isn't gonna die of brain seizure at all cases, but the risk is higher. And if you have the illness since you were born, the drugs increase much more that risk.

  • The drug use made her seizures worse!

  • SHE DID NOT SHE DIED FROM SUFFICATING INTO HER PILLOW not a damn brain seizure

  • From what I've read she died from suffocating into her pillow because of the position she was lying in and suffered a brain seizure at the same time.

  • The suffocation was stimulated by the brain seizure.

  • doping detected

  • nuneva (vetchernikova) was from bulgaria and probably doped.... but i cant help feeling sorry for her, she had silver in the bag

  • dam the top-end speed of Flo Jo was just ridiculous

  • dopingrunner like all american sprinters

  • in my opinion when olympic female sprinters run, they seem even more robotic than the men..

  • I love Evelyn Ashford. One of the last pure runners. She didn't have bulky muscles (enhanced or otherwise.) she was just plain fast, and an honor for America to have her in it's uniform. She won the Gold in the 4x 100m relay. Receiving a bad hand off from FloJo, she ran the leaders down from behind and captured gold. Simply great.

  • Ashford was so amazing; she was 2nd to last out the blocks (horrible start), caught up & passed everyone except FloJo, and still landed a 10.84! I think she could have probably beaten her record had she got out of the blocks!

  • SHE USD DRUGS. they couldnt use hard proof but she did. although i know shes a fast runner, thats what boosted her time. and thats why she dies eventually

  • They all do. That's the thing. Just let them use whatever the hell they want, is what I say. They'll always find ways to cheat or get around the system, or their country's sports administration will hide the facts and sweep them under the carpet (*cough-Carl Lewis-cough*)

  • y r u accusing her of using drugs she just worked hard

  • probably has something to do with improving by 0.3 seconds in a very short period of time after as an adult

  • It was never proven, nor did FloJo ever have a positive test. However, there are too many similarities between her and Ben Johnson. Both did OK in '84, but in '88 they are both MASSIVE with muscle, and aren't just breaking world records, but CRUSHING them. We all know what happened to Benny. Flo got out before she got caught.

  • Doping

  • Man she was all that and really fast.

    She will be remebered forever.

    RIP flo-jo

  • A legend for me,drugs?Maybe but not more than everybody( man or woman) in world class.

  • I hate her drugs cheat. That's why about 20 metres before the end she moves away from the field strangely. With no drugs she would do about 10.90 11.00.

  • agreed

  • Yea.

  • do you think it's advisable to suggest what she "should" have run or "could" have run? I question her times of that year. But I don't know. Neither do you. Why was Ben Johnson caught and she wasn't?

  • Because she wasn't taking them to the exstreme of what Johnson was. Plus she got out of the sport just before her next test. Smart I say, but Johnson thought hehe no ones going to catch me but they got him, two days after he'd won the gold in the 1988 olympic games.

  • I don't know dude. She OBLITERATED the old wr. He did it by a few hundredths. It would appear that if she WERE on drugs that she was taking a bunch of them or at least more than Johnson was. And if she didn't caught at the Games, what makes you think she would have gotten caught after?

  • No he didn't, Lewis got like 9.90 Johnson got 9.79 that's a few metres. You can tell by comparing them both, Johnson was not born with the huge eye balls, and the third nipple and the blood shot eyes. She must of simpely used some very good masking agents.

  • Wait a minute. So "huge eye balls" and a "3rd nipple" are signs of drug use? How could she, a little woman from South Central afford and find such good masking agents. Agents that national regimes couldn't find? I find it curious.

  • Back then, drug use was all about timing. You stop using a few months before a meet so as not to test positive. Ben simply timed it wrong, Flo timed it right. Shortly thereafter, random out of competition drug testing was announced. That's when Flo retired AT THE TIP TOP of her career. That seemed a bit fishy.

  • wow...I had no idea. Come to think of it, her muscles are being pushed at ridiculous speeds right around the 50 mark and seemed effortless....thats why im proud of kerron stewart and shelly-ann Fraser, doing it all natural!!!

  • still, she wasn't bad  looking...

  • yeh that looked reallllly suspicious

  • CHEAT! there are athletes out there training ten times harder that are not doping. Butt even if they lose they can hold their head up and at least say i did it clean.

    dwain chambers should never be allowed to set foot on a track again after he had our gold medals taken off britain and i dont care if hes clean now. it makes no difference.

  • u r 1 fucked up loser, u have no idea, why dont u go learn some fucking facts.

    Flo jo worked 2 jobs she went to the gym at 3am every single day and wokred out and aboslutly everything except take drugs, she was a pure performer, now show us the proof show us where it says she took drugs because she didnt so shut the fuck up u rascist cunt

  • aiai typical ausie in u you arrogant prick.

    1. tell me how ive been racist.

    2.Fact she was on te gear. period.

    maggot!

  • Hold up there is no such thing as an arrogent aussie but when it comes to u yanks, geez dont get anyone started.

    You were reascist saying flo jo took steroids, for an athlete who was as pure as her you are so rascist to be sayin that, why dont u go back to your KKK and smoke a bong.

    NO fact she was not go find evidence she was huh, u are one stupid faggot because u are so blind because the answer is right infront of your fucking eyes, she didnt take em, proof is everywhere!

  • stfu. for start i aint racist you cheeky little cunt.

    second i am not a yank.

    go check out over the internet after youve stoped wanking over he pics the reason why she had a heart attack. it can be realated to drugs.

    you cannot destroy world class sprinters by that much and run those times as a woman and say she was not on drugs.

    u think ur getting 1 over on people by abusing them on the internet cause ur a sad little cunt with no life. TWAT

  • Before the 1988 season, Griffith Joyner's best 100 meter time was 10.96 seconds....I rest my case

  • Before 2008, Usain Bolt's fastest time in the 100 meter was 10.2. Open the case again.

  • To me she was unlucky.There were female bodybuilders bald,with 45 cm bicep and a weigth of 95 kg and today are alive and happy.How much muscles her put on 6/7 kg?

  • Florence wouldn't be in the U.S. Olympic Hall of Fame unless she deserved to be there...by far my fav. female track and field athlete...anything else you wanna know about her death??? it's all in the books and so are her records!

  • Don't u think it is a shame that no track programs honor her on tv?

  • R.I.P.Florence!!! Let's think about this because I'm sick of all these ppl putting out things that haven't been documented or proven. Florence may have been the only female to do the impossible and yes she did run very Very fast times but when you break down her races, it's evident why she is able to run so fast...We've seen Marion Jones run much slower and look at what happened with her...she admitted to doping, just enter her name in the search bar....the point is...cheaters never prosper and.

  • she was clearly not on steroids! her hardwork and dedication brought forth those results...florence wasn't always on top...she worked her way to the top and claimed her prize at the right time..florence died in her sleep due to an epileptic seizure. she didn't have enough urine in her bladder to determine that she was using steroids but after further research, it was proven that her muscular build was more natural than having been altered by performance enhancing drugs!! Get your facts right!!!!

  • steroid claim her life too soon.. 38..

  • 와 진짜잘달린다 세계최고의 여자육상선수조이너

    10.49기록은 영원히깨기 힘들듯

  • she was a steroid user died at age 38, steroids were a little more taxing back then, she stole that medal from the rightful natural winner.
