Flo-jo didn't use drugs:

After her death in 1998, Prince Alexandre de Merode, chairman of the International Olympic Committee's medical commission, claimed that Griffith Joyner was singled out for extra, rigorous drug testing during the 1988 Olympic Games following rumors of steroid use. De Merode told The New York Times that Manfred Donike, who was at that time considered to be the foremost expert on drugs and sports, failed to discover any banned substances during that testing.[58] The World Anti-Doping Agency was created in the 1990s, removing control of drug testing from the IOC and De Merode. De Merode later stated: "We performed all possible and imaginable analyses on her. We never found anything. There should not be the slightest suspicion."

Flo Jo was dominant for one year and retired right after that

[Yayo Toure]

Unreal. She is going to break that record.

Dina third...not a man in sight.

Idk man that record probably another generation away as the spikes and technique continues to evolve. Flo Jo and the US really damaged women's athletics, last 30 years of legends don't have any records to show for their dominance.
