so you expect everyone to believe she just suddenly got better at the age of 28. people dont just have a huge improvement in their performance naturally. not at that age not on the scale she had. and why quit at 28 that would be like usain bolt quitting now after the recent olympics

[MsMaiysha]

You are the bad example for children because you speak without facts, which makes you a liar. I knew her personally, I was engaged to her brother, Bobby Scott. It's very easy for people to project their opinions, but to push lies shows no character.. you couldn't even hold her running shoes let alone speak about her

[biglittlejujitsuman]

@Kmunz7 the drugs tests were not good enough back then. plenty of people got away with cheating in east germany and communist countries, also she just quit conveniently when they planned to bring out new strict drug testing policies. doesnt matter what i say most people will not believe her as circumstance points to guilt. its possible she may have been clean but i would have a hard time believing.

[Kmunz7]

@biglittlejujitsuman She didn't fail a single drug test so what your saying holds no value.

Even drugged up Marion Jones couldn't come near Flo-Jo record...this is hillarious :D

[papmjny]

she died as a clean sportswoman. never gave a positive dop test. Anyway, everyone understands, that she was doped. Unfortunately there are hundreds of similar cases, which now are making money with their untrue and lieful carreer. Everywhere in this world.

well if flojos 100m record is in doubt , i say this one is gonna be untouched till theres a female version of bolt around

@Bexly a test won't be done? you're right. which is why instead of stating emphatically that flojo was drugged, I'll stick to the belief that she wasn't. and Marion was phenomenal in hs. despite her issues with testing, no one believed her to be doing drugs at that time. so when she hit the big leagues and crushed her competition, folks looked at it as though she was rightfully claiming her position not jumping out of nowhere onto the spotlight.

[Bexly]

@CHEETAH69 two things.....1) you say "until a test" well you already know that will never happen. and 2) Marions was suspicious...she lost eligability outta hs and had to hire johnny cochran when she was young and every negro she dated and dealt with had a PED history...to me it was more than obvious... its sort of like the kennedy assasination...logic tells me that the official story is lacking...peace

[CHEETAH69]

@Bexly don't assume that because I don't come to your conclusions, that I don't understand. I know there's a bunch of stuff out there that was probably undectable. will I be shocked if it comes out that there's proof of FloJo's drug use? Probably not. But until that test, I have to line up with the belief that she was clean. FloJo's rise looked suspicious. But Marion's didn't. And yet she was doping.

[MrSyrett]

No - there are no "evidence" that she took drugs - just like there were none with Marion Jones - until she admitted it. Just look at the evidence though - every one of the women's short distance records (100m to 800m) are 20-25 years old (coincidentally before random drug testing was implemented). No one has ever come close to them. Flo Jo's physique dramatically changed in a short period - as did her times. She went from being average to untouchable. New training regimes my ass!

[Bexly]

@CHEETAH69 i'm sorry, i assumed you had an understanding of these things.1st. one person caught doesnt mean the next one is. there are many types of PEDs out there and have been for years. this shit isnt new. its been around many years. you do realize that marion jones confessed, while tori edwards was caught....look, this is some complex shit. and if anyone fits the profile, flo jo does. i'll always be a fan but i remember all those evelyn ashford and brisco hooks whoopins'....even back to ucla
