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

[nirbija]

wise responses that only a world champion could give

[MrBusunglueck]

@ranhill the 100m is an other caliber

[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.

[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.

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.

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.

[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.

[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.

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

[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.
