Carl Lewis is a dirty cheat as well, but it was covered up. He has used stimulants at that race. So did Lindford Christie. Calvin Smith should have won the gold medal. Such hypocrites.

linford seems realllly nervous hahaha

@TEMUJINARTS You fucking moron, Calvin Smith was my brother's coach at Alabama. I speak directly from his mouth, he did not lift weights during most of his career. I'm acknowledging that he might have taken something because only god knows, BUT based on meeting the man, watching him run a 100m in his 40's without training in 10.3X, safe to say he's natural. I know plenty more about this than you ever will, i know trainers, athletes who've competed at worlds/olympics and plenty of strengthcoac

[TEMUJINARTS]

@TheAngeltoDemon WHAT!!! He didnt weight train u say!!! That just shows and proves you dont know shit about this. Why are u dropping opinions when u dont know?? Are u making assuptions going by what his body looks like?? Man pls just STOP. Speak of what u KNOW. Know as FACT.

Grow up a bit, you should have learnt this by now.

Goddam, i cant believe this.

[TheAngeltoDemon]

@TEMUJINARTS The dude didn't even lift weights, and he was ran low 10's in the 100 in his 40's without training. Sure, can i say for sure?  No, i haven't followed him around but based on his build, his training, he's as close to anyone being natural than anybody.

@TheAngeltoDemon lol take those rose colored glasses off. lol you must have a simple mind if u think Smith was clean

Calvin Smith, interviewed at 2:50 should be pleased. He was the first clean man across the line. At least he got some kind of justice by getting promoted to the bronze. Its funny that Christie says at about 3:40, that someone goes and runs a time and they realise it can be done, for pete's sake he didnt run his times legally either, he got busted too!! So full of shit. and it hurt me because I was an avid Christie fan back in the day. To hear that he was guilty made me doubt the sport I love.

@TheGladmankilla cheers to you. Ben's situation is a strange one, because noone would advisse him to take the drugs so soon to the event. People don't realize steriods clear your system fairly quickly and the bulk of them are used during heavy training periods to maintain incrrease strenght and conditioning and avoid injury. I've heard from many, Ben got bad advice, his getting caught was either a conspiracy like he said, or more likely from some really bad advice., oh well, cheers.

@Dangerous2099 Calvin Smith broke a 15yr old record by 2hundreths of a second at 9.93. To think this is now a slow time is insane, these guys have to be using something.

[TheAngeltoDemon]

@Dangerous2099 I agree with you. I feel for these guys though because sprinting is so cut throat. I mean races down to the 100th of a second, esp when skill is such a small portion of it. Honestly, the only guy who i believed was totally clean was Calvin Johnson. What do you think about Michael Johnson though? Generally speaking though, TF is very dirty, as is NFL.

[Dangerous2099]

@TheAngeltoDemon Look at Maurice Green. he was huge, that's another guy who likely got away with it. And there's no way Flo Jo was clean in 1988.
