I realize, that Track and Field back then was seeing these stars on drugs. Ashford was tested time and time again, and she was always clean. I still believe, that she ran
without the aid of any enhancers, and I loved watching her kick the East German women sprinters butt every time. It was sad seeing her pull up with an injury in 1983.
She would have been the World Champion in the 100m, and possibly at least a Silver Medallist in the 200m.

Did you just see that crazy comeback in the 200m!!!!!!!!

Anybody able to post the same World Cup events from 1981 where Evelyn won 100 & 200 again.
-
Yes, one year after the Montreal Olympics Marlies Göhr turned into Wonder Woman. :))

@BOOMSLANG85 The 100 metre race is definitely in there

@rucken123 . Thanks. There is a moment I watched the posting you recommended me, but I don't remember there is the world cup 100m women's. Thanks, and it's a pity for the 200m :-(
Actually their (battles) rival began in 1976 in the Olympic final in Montreal; Evelyn was 5th in 11.24 and Marlies was 8th in 11.34. Quite a leap to 10.88 the next year for Marlies.

ashford was a much bigger natural talent than any of the east german sprinters. that being said im not saying ashford didnt use drugs. but the east german women really pushed the drug use and often started using at a much earlier age than in other countries. runners like goehr..she wouldnt even be close to running sub 11 times without systematic drug use.
