​​​@@donbaxley5530 It's a moral issue: Flo Jo achieved her results through hard training. She didn't need doping. That's the point here. She changed coaches, she and her husband developed new training methods, which brought the long-awaited success, in addition to the work put in. A statement from FloJo and her husband, Al Joyner: “I know exactly what people say about me,” she said. "And that's just not true." I don't need to use drugs. If they want, they can come for testing every week of the year. I have nothing to hide." Her husband says all the talk boils down to jealousy.

Over 20 pounds every night to add strength to your legs. She worked 12 hours a day.” Only those who have nothing to hide say so. Do 12 hours of leg training a day for months and you'll set the world record. Period. There are interviews with her from 1984 where her voice is exactly the same. She always had a deep voice.Her voice is also deep in the training video made in 1994, even though she hasn't competed in years. FloJo's death was caused by an epileptic seizure due to a congenital brain disorder, sadly drowned RIP. Florence Griffith Joyner retires from the field On February 22, 1989, five months after the Seoul Olympic Games, Griffith Joyner announced her retirement from track and field. When discussing her retirement with Liguori, Griffith Joyner said: "I retired in 1989 because I could no longer train at 100%, the way I used to train. If I can't give it my all, I don't want to give it at all." Griffith Joyner moved on with her life. She became a mother, pursued fashion design and continued to combine sports and style. She even designed the 1990 NBA uniforms for the Indiana Pacers. After the death of Florence Griffith Joyner, doping allegations against her intensified. Many believed that illegal performance enhancers may have contributed to her death. However, after the autopsy, Dr. Richard Fukumoto, forensic medicine expert, clearly stated that no changes caused by steroids or other doping agents could be detected in her body. "This report allows Florence Griffith Joyner to rest in peace," said Primo Nebiolo, then president of the International Association of Athletics Federations. “Her family has had to endure incredible media attacks, many trying to undermine her legacy without any real evidence. This campaign harmed the entire sport and the anti-doping campaign. I expect more responsible behavior from media representatives in the future. I hope that after this, many members of the athletic world will assure the family of their love and sympathy." The 100m and 200m world record holder is FloJo, these are the facts. Facts are stubborn things. "FloJo was juicing". These are just assumptions. The truth is, no one has ever proven these allegations. So FloJo's world records are and will remain official. I don't see anyone who can topple them. FloJo achieved her results with the perfect harmony of body, soul and spirit. Everyone is presumed innocent until proven guilty. Florence Griffith Joyner's style and speed brought her international fame, but her Olympic performance was clouded by skepticism. A year after the Games, in 1989, a former American athlete named Darrell Robinson told a European magazine that Griffith Joyner had given her money to buy growth hormones. Griffith Joyner denied the allegations, telling the New York Times, "It's all made up lies about drugs. I'd be crazy to do drugs." In 1998, sports commentator John Feinstein said on NPR's Morning Edition, "The rumors were in Seoul in 1988, and I think the first thing to note is that he never tested positive," he said. "But she became a star late. She was 28 at the time... These rumors will always be there and she's been asked about them throughout her career, which she's always denied." The International Olympic Committee's medical board says it conducted rigorous drug testing on Griffith Joyner during the 1988 Olympics - and it always came back negative. Griffith Joyner spoke to journalist Ann Liguori about the allegations in 1991: "I knew I had never taken drugs, so I didn't let it bother me when people said that. I knew it was something that was in the news," she said. "People were looking for personal things to point at the athletes. Try not to buy it and just focus on what needs to be done and move on." I know it's hard to accept the fact that FloJo is the best in the world, pure. No one has ever proven that it is muddy. That being said, I understand that you are suffering and trying to smear FloJo's memory, but that only qualifies you. Your baseless accusations are just trying to reassure me, I am calm because I know the truth about FloJo's purity. So you can say anything until you prove that your words are empty. . She is the only woman to hold 2 athletics world records for more than 35 years. I'm sorry you can't understand that there are people in our world who can create admirable acts without any doping. Believe what you want. DYOR Do you have any more questions? "Florence Griffith-Joyner, Tellez and Bob Kersee denied the allegations, but Florence Griffith-Joyner did not pursue legal action. The accuser questioned Robinson's motives, as he received $50,000 for an interview with Stern and $10,000 for an appearance on NBC's Today show . to discuss the matter." Darell Robinson was a frustrated, frustrated personality with a hint of jealousy, a slight desire for revenge, because he himself could not succeed. Materiality played an additional role in his motivation. He is a completely untrustworthy person with empty words and zero evidence. Flo Jo RIP❤

There was testimony from nurses that Flo Jo was a regular visitor to the hospital in the center of doping. People just want to accept it, it broke my heart about Marion Jones. There’s been a big cover up about Flo-Jo because if she is exposed other athletes will also be exposed from that era.

She was definitely more feminine than most sprinters and never tested positive, and didn't really have a power running style.........so you know maybe you're right, it's hard to be the best, I'm sure a lot of champions took drugs. But why watch sports at all if you consider excellence a sign of cheating?

Testosterone...probaly

tested 11 times during those trials, so probably not

[@minavamp2811]

@@ConsciousFBA there were no out of competition drug testing in those days. so athletes know how to flush their system when they are in competitions by carefully timing themselves.

@@minavamp2811 no different from today especially in Jamaica and Europe

[@minavamp2811]

@@ConsciousFBA today is harder to get away because they have unannounced out of competition drug testing. even that many athletes still get away with it because it's not like you are getting out of competition testing twice a month or something like that. sometimes you get it once or year or sometimes 2 or 3 or 4 times a year. it's like a random draw testing of athletes. and if athletes got called in for out of competition testing then they are allowed to miss drug test up to 2 times every 18 months without any penalty. so by then they are clean. track and field will never be a clean sport, athletes will always find a way to cheat and to beat the system.

[@ConsciousFBA]

@@minavamp2811 no it's not. Did you see the Jamaican women? One of them is 36 years old running the best she's ever. It defies nature what she is doing. If you know anything about the Jamaican drug testing program you know that it's much easier to cheat than it's ever been. Plus there are different rules for different people as evidenced by what happened to the American sprinter for smoking weed and the 15 year old european ice skater who actually had steroids in her system.
