Title: Michael Johnsons strong anti drugs stance
Post by: Army of One on August 05, 2012, 06:21:05 PM
I found it interesting today that he said on the bbc that everyone should ignore Justin Gatlins bronze at this years Olympic 100m final, as he has previously been caught twice using peds.A little research showed he also gave back his relay gold medal because one of his teammates (antonio Pettigrew) admitted taking HGH and he publically criticised him for it.He also believes in lifetime bans for using.

Do you believe he was clean?Can somebody really be that cold, hypocritical and borderline sociopathic?

Michael Duane Johnson (born September 13, 1967) is a retired American sprinter. He won four Olympic gold medals and eight World Championships gold medals.[2] Johnson currently holds the world and Olympic records in the 400 m and 4 x 400 meters relay.

He CANNOT be drug free, fucking lying filth scumbag fuckface.

I actually do believe him. Simply because I believe he was so good, so genetically gifted and far ahead, he didn't even need to.

I might be naive but it's a strong feeling I have. Then again, I thought Carl Lewis was whiter than white.

Mandingo negros like Victor Richards are still strong as Oxens and pack on muscle like nothing, and the skinny Ethiopians are unbeatable at 3000M and beyond.  But us diluted negros, from the South and North, can only do wind sprints.  It seems to me that you polluted our gene pool with recessive white genes.  On top of that, you gave us genetically fucked up hearts like Eastern Europeans, so long distance running equals an instant heart attack.  ::)

I guess with Michael Johnson we'll never know.

If he was completely natural and not assisted in any way then it makes him possibly the most genetically gifted athlete of all time.

On the other hand I have a a hard time believing he did it naturally espcially taking so much off a 200m world record that had stood since 1979.

But like someone else in the thread said, he can say what he likes now - no-one can touch him.

Take a good look at Lebron James. A freak of nature. DO you really thing he's using? Johnson was the same type of anomaly in his sport. A freak of nature that was clean. Sad thing is that if someone is unusually muscular or athletic we automatically think GUILTY UNTIL PROVEN INNOCENT. The worse thing cheaters have done isn't cheating it's that now we don't give anyone the benefit of the doubt.

** After Marion Jones lied like with that pretty smile like a fucking sociopath, it's kind of understandable.   :-\

Wikipedo says he's 6'5" 210 lbs.

I can believe Carl Lewis was natural or was at least not on anything that had a major impact on his performance.  He was a phenom as a teenager and didn't really improve that much up until his peak, then declined into his 30s and was only dominant in one event (long jump) at which he was a generational talent for.  He also got thrashed in the 100 m in '88 (that race wasn't close at all) by a guy who was verifiably juiced to the gills.

Everyone else in that field was on. Maybe Johnson would be similar to Bolt in the current climate, maybe not.

The funny thing is, some teenage chinese swimmer starts setting records, everybody labels her a cheat. The whole jamaican team do the same and nobody bats an eyelid. It's not politically correct to call out a predominant black country but everyone else is fair game.

I agree with this completely. Any time someone demolishes world records, you should think ped until proven otherwise. I think this guy is the exact lying "filt" that gh15 always talked about. Its like the american coach said with regard to the chinese swimmer, in basically all cases where someone thoroughly demolished a record, that person was either found guilty of using or incontrovertibly linked to ped use. I also remember there was a lot of talk about mj using hgh as he showed up in atlanta with a changed facial structure. I remember a lot of people saying he looked like a chipmunk...

There is no point being clean in sports.  The payoff is HUGE.  We are not talking about thousand of dollars but instead millions and millions.  You do what you have to do to win and succeed.  When you find out that the 8th place guy was dirty and realize, fuck this guy was dirty and still finished in 8th, then what the hell are the top 7 guys on a light goes off.  Ding ding mutherfucking ding.  WHAT ARE THE TOPS GUYS ON?

I believe Michael Johnson was clean. One of those athletes that comes along every so often and just blows away the competition. I think people forget genuine genetic phonoms actually exist. Bolt is the latest. (i will be fucking devastated to say the least if he ever returns a positive test)

Carl Lewis- proven cheat that too much of the world still thinks is whiter than white.

Regarding Justin Gatlin. He was given a second chance after testing positive which i believe an athlete should get, but he cheated again and got caught and should never have been allowed anywhere near an Olympic games unless he'd payed the price of a ticket. If only Tyson Gay had timed his finishing posture better.

If what seperates the greatest athlete in your state and the best in the world is 1 percent in performance, and steroids add 5 percent to performance, no matter if your the best in the world natural, the best in your state will still have a 4 percent advantage.

Granted these numbers are coming out of thin air but you can understand the math. The difference in performance between 1 athlete in a million and 1 in 7 billion natural, is much smaller than the difference between an athlete that is juiced to the gills and one that is natty.
Title: Re: Michael Johnsons strong anti drugs stance
Post by: Hulkotron on August 06, 2012, 12:56:11 PM

He failed multiple tests and latterly admitted to taking PED's.

If you considered ephedrine to be performance enhancing on the same level as steroids then I suppose this is accurate.

Quote
It was revealed that Lewis tested positive three times before the 1988 Olympics for pseudoephedrine, ephedrine, and phenylpropanolamine, banned stimulants and bronchodilators also found in cold medication, and had been banned from the Seoul Olympics and from competition for six months.

None of those three things are masking agents for steroids.  The third one there is banned because it's a key ingredient for making meth.  If we're going to discount athletic performances while using stimulants then we may as well throw out every record for the last 100 years.

It is true, apparently they are doing this with horse racing as well.  More of a shock absorbing bouncier surface that makes running quicker and easier on the joints.

Go and read abut how Ben got caught and others role in it, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to work out how informed all parties were in regards to drugs.

As said he admitted to taking drugs and his terms of speech were indicative of more than stimulants, which regardless happen to be illegal.

I don't know what your point is but Johnson tested positive for stanozolol after the race and later admitted to using steroids throughout his career.  This is well known, I don't need to go read about it.  Lewis never tested positive for steroids regardless of what you infer from his "terms of speech", and if he did and it was covered up I'm not sure why they would keep that covered and reveal the rest.

The material in the track...certain surface materials are better for sprint, while worse for endurance/long distance. To "help" get rid of Ben's time (along with drugs, etc), they have increasing used materials to get quicker times, much to the chagrin of long distance runners (constant pounding of the feet/joints, etc).

It was a long time ago but it was words to the effect of "What about the people who say you take drugs?"  He got upset and walked off, he was doing fine up until then.  I guess he didn't want to lie and decided it was easier to walk away but that made him look more guilty than ever.  Marion Jones should have taught him a thing or two about lying.  I guess the hardest thing is lying to yourself and then trying to convince others.

Marion Jones should have continued to lie---maybe the lies were too much to bear, that and her "husband" hemming her up...

I don't see that that proves in any way he is guilty. It just shows that he found the question insulting. He has stated before that he never took drugs so not wanting to lie is no explanation; dude is a flat out liar if he was using banned substances.

Not saying he wasn't using btw.. I just don't see it as  a guilty man's reaction. Can just as easily make a case for it being the opposite.

From memory Lewis did come out with a positive test, but it was buried as the USA didn't want the embarrassment.

It was not a positive test for steroids.  It was for two stimulants and something that's banned because it's a key ingredient to making meth and is also found in cold medicine (this is why meth cookers run rackets to buy up all the Sudafed or whatever in the area). 

Like I said already if we're going to discount athletic performances because people used stimulants than just throw out every sports record in recorded history.

Have a look at the video and then decide.  To me, when I was watching it indicated guilt and I had no judegement about him prior to that because he was just another track star on the USA team and I expected them to be the best, but this spoke volumes as it was just a standard question and it it wasn't accusatory in any way as far as I was concerned.  Anyway, his actions and demeanour made up my mind about him from there on and these days I think everyone is on them the sport is so filthy.  I still enjoy watching it though.

don't forget he also ran 19.66 to break the world record at the oly trials in june of 96.  Another thing to consider is that he over-ran.  he hurt himself in running 19.32, permanently...hamstring,hip, quad problems from that point on.  I'm not saying he was clean or dirty, but he was a freak of nature, regardless of drug use...just like usain bolt.

One thing you got to understand is that people like Michael Johnson,Carl Lewis,Usain Bolt are not normal people : they are FREAK OF NATURE , they are the GENETIC ELITE OF THE WORLD, and human specimens like them are born one every miliion.
But to think that this 3 athletes are clean is FUCKING RETARDED,just like thinking that Jay Cutler is clean too.
The big difference is that without steroid and HGH this 3 athletes (Michael Johnson, Carl Lewis,Usain Bolt) would always be SUPREME ATHLETES when instead Jay Cutler without drugs would be only a FAT WHITE BOY. ;)

Ronnie Coleman said he was natural too. No-one believes him because everyone believes Steroids = Muscle and he is a freak. But with no Steroids Ronnie would still be the best, steroids/PED's just help make him bigger.

Same with running. Michael Johnson is fast and would probably win with no PED's. It just wouldn't be those times.

Not saying either of you are wrong, but don't forget everyone responds differently to drugs some people respond really well and some can take a boatload and get not very far.  Maybe these guys are the good responders and not necessarily the best atheletes.  Flo Jo was the classic example of this, from memeory she was nowhere as a runner certainly not top 5 and then like magic she went to the top almost overnight.  I think it's a little simplistic to say best on the gear also equals best off the gear.  Carl Lewis maybe as stated he was a teenage phenom(so was Lance Armstrong) but was Michael Johnson? (I honestly don't know.)

Yes but Flo Jo was probably natural and not top 5 and the others were juiced and beating her. Her juicing then just let her go past them.

They were all teenage phenoms. They are all the best out there, but when you come to the elite level and the rest are juicing, they will beat you.

From what i have read on Ben Johnson and the speeding up of the tracks, he would be winning today. He said he could run 9.30 if he was running today and i believe he'd beat Bolt.

Yup. Regardless of their PED use, the 3 sprinters you mentioned are truly the genetic elite. We can argue all day about what they used, but at the end of the day, without drugs, Johson, Lewis, and Bolt would still be supreme athletes, while Cutler would be a fat, short nobody.

Anyone who believes Ben or Michael Johnson, Lewis, Bubka, Bolt, Gatlin, Joyner, Jones, Jeter, Christie, etc. are natural is horribly naive. Natural to world class track athletes is being off the stuff two days prior to your "random" test.

The pathological lying is just an added bonus.

From memory Lewis did come out with a positive test, but it was buried as the USA didn't want the embarrassment.

"Carl Lewis has broken his silence on allegations that he was the beneficiary of a drugs cover-up, admitting he had tested positive for banned substances but claiming he was just one of "hundreds" of American athletes who were allowed to escape bans.

"There were hundreds of people getting off," he said. "Everyone was treated the same."

Lewis has now acknowledged that he failed three tests during the 1988 US Olympic trials, which under international rules at the time should have prevented him from competing in the Seoul games two months later.

The admission is a further embarrassment for the United States Olympic Committee, which had initially denied claims that 114 positive tests between 1988 and 2000 were covered up.
"

USOC logic goes like this -- as long as they are winning the medals while cheating it's A ok, because everyone else is obviously doing it, since they are getting busted.  ::)

Lewis's positive tests were all covered up by the powers that be -- of the USOC.

Every time these athletes test positive - supposedly it's for cough based medicine or something laced with something, when in reality they are all really attempting to mask the use of other drugs.

They're all genetic elite, all fantastic athletes that train extremely hard, but THEYRE ALL ON DRUGS

ALL OF THEM

If someone takes the WHOLE 100m line-up and gives them A REAL surprise unannounced test, they will ALL fail

Basically bolt is the best, fastest out of ALL the drug using genetic elite atm

Wikipedo says he's 6'5" 210 lbs.

I can believe Carl Lewis was natural or was at least not on anything that had a major impact on his performance.  He was a phenom as a teenager and didn't really improve that much up until his peak, then declined into his 30s and was only dominant in one event (long jump) at which he was a generational talent for.  He also got thrashed in the 100 m in '88 (that race wasn't close at all) by a guy who was verifiably juiced to the gills.

My HRT doc was US olympic team physician during the years Lewis was competing and he has a slightly different opinion.

Mandingo negros like Victor Richards are still strong as Oxens and pack on muscle like nothing, and the skinny Ethiopians are unbeatable at 3000M and beyond.  But us diluted negros, from the South and North, can only do wind sprints.  It seems to me that you polluted our gene pool with recessive white genes.  On top of that, you gave us genetically fucked up hearts like Eastern Europeans, so long distance running equals an instant heart attack.  ::)

I don't know what your point is but Johnson tested positive for stanozolol after the race and later admitted to using steroids throughout his career.  This is well known, I don't need to go read about it.  Lewis never tested positive for steroids regardless of what you infer from his "terms of speech", and if he did and it was covered up I'm not sure why they would keep that covered and reveal the rest.


My point is that there were some very shady dealings and involvement from people on Lewis' team in the whole Ben Johnson situation.
If you choose to not actually look at the information that is out there then you shouldn't even pass comment.

Literally hundreds of failed tests were buried, but a few sacrificial lambs are sporadically needed. Carl was an exceptional athlete but Ben was just the better 100 meter runner, end of story.

Also stimulants are illegal, lol at them being banned because of them being a component of meth, they are illegal because they enhance your performance.

They are all genetic elite, they are all drugged to the eyeballs and the person that wins the races are the best in their disciplines.

Drugs common at the top of pro sports?

David Millar never tested positive for drugs. He admitted it only after being arrested at dinner one night with Sky Team general manager David Brailsford in France. Marian Jones also never tested positive but later admitted to systematic doping. So if the worlds best in sport mostly only get caught when they fess up what does that say about current testing methods and wide spread hot sauce usage?

Yes, very good article.

It could be construed in one of two ways - that athletes are still using drugs but which aren't as strong as those in the 1980's, or that today's top athletes are genuinely natural, hence why the records (especially for the women) aren't being broken.
