What were you dudes thinking when Bill Russell was going ham on them boys as a freshman?
Her body changed.
She wasn't anywhere near as diesel in 84' as she became in 88'...and along with it came the world records.
Carl Lewis was my hero as a youngster but dude was on the juice.
About 6 of the 8 finalists in Seoul 88 got
busted at some point for juicing, Lewis being one of them. His explanation was deemed to be plausible though.
I was watching a doc just before the Olympics on Ben Johnson and that final and even now...Lewis is salty as fukk. Lewis got the gold and Johnson was confined to history as a drug cheat, but he still seemed have not let that thing go. IMO its because they were both on the juice but Johnson was the better runner from '87 onwards and that fukked with him.
Another tell tale sign lies braces. If you see any of these grown ass athletes with them on, something's up. Got dropped the jewel on this and was like
IIRC she hid herself from competition for the whole of 88 and only did the trials and olympics that year then retired. + in 89 random doping was comin into effect.
No she wasn't!!! She won the silver in 200 at the 87' track and field World ships and won the gold in the Relay.
She wasn't "beasting" prior to 88'. She came outta nowhere.

Dog...I'm not going to go back into the 80's and give a blow by blow account of everything. I saw her grow from 87' to 88'.....fukk four years. She didn't even medal in the 87' Track and Field world championships in the 100 meters and won silver in the 200.
And for mastermind:
Elaborate.....
Women's track records are untouchable... And almost all of those East German athletes died in their 40s.Tainted Legacy Steroid Cloud Hangs Over Flo-jo, Golden Age Of Women's Track & Field - New York Daily News
Basically none of the female records set during that time have even been close to being touched
Here are some of the records that were set during the 1980s . Although the record holders came under suspicion for steroids, their performances remain the benchmarks for women's track and field :
100m: Florence Griffith-Joyner, 10.49, July 16, 1988
200m: Florence Griffith-Joyner, 21.34, Sept. 29, 1988
400m: Marita Koch, 47.60, June 10, 1985
800m: Jarmila Kratochvílová,
1:53.28, July 26, 1983
100m hurdles: Yordanka Donkova, 12.21, Aug. 8, 1988
Even tho Ben Johnson is a disgraceful cheat (to get caught twice is jsut , he was also made the scapegoat for all the drug cheats that got away with it before him. Maybe it was because he was running for Canada and they wouldnt kick up much of a fuss probably as it was still the Cold War era back then it had to be someone else especially after the last 2 Olympics didnt have all the best competitors and would of been too much of an international incident otherwise.
THe US doping records that came out in the 2000's shows Lewis failed 3 tests before the 88 Olympics, but as he was by far the biggest trackstar they covered it up.
Just thinkin about if Flo Jo did get caught in 88, what would of happened if the 2 fastest people on earth both failed test at the same time, people would of been thrown in the bushes and outrage.
so would say the real Cold War was takin place out on the track and swimmin pools in the 80's
The East Germans were fukked as soon as that Wall came down and when the whistle blowers back in the early 90's said yeah they got recorded documents of who took what and what the doseage was for them all goin back to the 70's
First it was 4 years and now its she grew in one year? Make up your mind on what your argument is going to be,
Lets put it this way, she NEVER tested positive, no one in her circle has ever hinted at her taking anything, someone likely would have tried to cash in on a book deal by now..
and if she was juicing back in 87-88 do you think whatever it was would have been more potent than what Marion Jones had access too? Yet Marion still couldn't touch her times on her best days.
Ever so often athletes will come along and transcend the sport, it happens....15-20 years from now will we have threads that say "Lets be honest, Lebron James was on roids since high school?" etc...
I'm still laughing at someone who said she was "beasting" prior to 88.
NO....she wasn't.
