I honestly don't care one way or the other. People get too emotional over steroid use. A lot of people have used roids and didn't win let alone dominate we just don't talk about it because they aren't in the public eye. Same shyt in baseball. Everybody who used roids didn't hit 70 HR or strike out 20 batters. I really can't knock people's hustle if they feel like that is what they need to do and are willing to accept the risks that come along with it. I'm all for roid use. Entertain me. :popcorn: The Olympic ideal and the purity of athletic competition is long gone anway might as well see people do crazy shyt. :manny:

That smiley is so appropriate. :laugh:

I'm sorry, I just believe that she roided. Her body developed ridiculously and she suddenly obliterated records.

She went from a cute middle of the pack racer with long nails to half horse.

I'm sorry man but I just dont condone accusing people without proof. That's a slippery slope that can lead to all kinds of craziness. And where do we draw the line?

Thats why i was so pissed about the media accusing the little chinese girl of cheating this morning. It's one thing to be suspicious. It's another to flat out accuse someone. Until the person does somemething to show they are unworthy of it you OWE them the benefit of a doubt.

I owe no athlete the benefit of the doubt.

I played with teammates who cheated and got away with shyt.
Be naive all you want.

IF Ben Johnson were to keel over now, they'd find roid in his system going back to 88?

I didnt say they found roids, I said they found nothing abnormal with her organs. No extra mass or anything. Her body was apparently normal for an athlete at her age.

So it didn't disprove that she wasn't on roids.

So what's the use of even bringing that up? She was long retired when she passed.

my guess is that they usually can tell if someone had long term drug abuse by their organs, which is why they did the test of her. Maybe its larger or maybe its damaged from drug use.

When they found nothing, they suspected nothing.

Its not about her having drugs in her system, its that her body wasnt out of the ordinary.

I remember rooting for her in 1988 but, of course, she was roiding... Everybody knew that.
Just like Ben Johnson, she ran effortlessly with a smile on her face while setting records that no woman has approached since.
Funny how men's records have fallen consistently but those set by Eastern German female athletes and Flo-Jo are still untouchable (they all died young too) :beli:
