  • @cruisreal If you lost the Olympic Gold Medal to a guy who got caught with steriods TWICE, you would be pretty damn pissed...

  • To be honest, barnes should have all his medals stripped. Being caught with steroids twice is pathetic. Godina won gold in the shot put in the 1996 Olympics, not the steroid eater barnes.

  • @damnDworld 6lbs

    

  • @ytubeserb the Americans have too much control, I swear

  • @TheBruiser012 Yeah, it's because of Seoul. The testing procedure changed. He failed it twice, once in 1990 and then in 1998. I feel sorry for Ben Johnson in 100m. Barnes could keep his WR and he tested positive in the same year he made it, but Ben's records were taken from him (even the one from 1987). It shows how different standards apply to American athletes. Carl Lewis tested positive in Olympic Trials in 1988, and it was covered up.

  • at 2:00, we're they cheering for Barnes?

  • @ytubeserb I feel sorry for Randy, being the only one caught.

  • Some people often have a wrong understanding of steroids in track and field. Like the Ben Johnson scandal. For sprinters and many other athletes, steroids primarily offer faster recovery times in training. The faster you can recover, the more quality work you can do. So, they actually train harder than others. If you level the field, the best athletes always surface. Ben would beat Carl if they were both clean at the time, which they weren't. Same goes for many other events. Sorry for the rant

  • @TheBruiser012 Of course, GDR had state sponsored doping program. Even Ulf said that up until 1988 everyone was on something there (Ulf said this in those posts he made at The Ring forums that I sent you). But those were basic drugs, nothing special. USA did it, Soviets did it, and a lot of other countries. Barnes was even caught. It was the reality of their sport. So, no one played fair.

  • @ytubeserb not to be fecicious, but the GDR wern't exactly known for their fair playing.
