they never ever blood tested in those days, urine only, was easy to mask and short acting oral steroids would clear the body in a few days with no trace anyway. Dreschler came 3rd in that race and she was a powerful sprinter and WR longjumper, she was also a documented Turinabol user, and she was no match against Flojo, there is no way flojo was drug free, maybe her urine was drug free on that day but she had doped for years on and off prior.

Here is your proof that she was not on drugs. ALL BLOOD TESTS WERE NEGATIVE! GROW UP!

wikipedia tells all and she passed EVERY drug test.

I meant the runners back then were more slender..not like the big bulldogs runnin now..lol

[bluntbobby57]

She was pregnant and that's why she retired,that's a known fact..even if everyone was "doping" back then..no woman could come close to Flo Jo..and plus as bulky and muscular as the women are now 14yrs later..and they STILL can't beat Flo Jos time..and you know the drugs now are a whole lot better..look at how damn muscular the women are now..and how much more slender now..she had amazing technique,an amazing coach..and just fast as hell..Flo Jo was the best..

There were even whispers, mentioned in dispatches last week in USA Today, that Griffith Joyner, like Johnson, had tested positive in the South Korean capital. It was rumoured that Griffith Joyner escaped admonition on the understanding that she would never race again, thus sparing the United States the shame brought upon Canada by Johnson.

because there are special people - Flo was one of them - your last sentence is ruining your own theory

Please, she died from an Epileptic Seizure. Give credit where credit is due.
