Race that shook the world
« on: August 01, 2012, 11:14:50 AM »
Brilliant documentary about the 1988 Olympics 100m race,especially the bit about positive tests in 1984 being "lost" and the introduction of GH that year.

Called the dirtiest race in history. And, if memory serves, six out of the eight tested positive.

Even though its nearly an hour long its well worth a watch,you find out the chief doctor doing the testing talking about how GH came into the sport and everyone started wearing braces on there teeth.Then you notice Lewis wearing Braces.Plus the same Doc saying that he kept all the samples from 84 and tested them with todays equipment and all of them tested positive.You find out Lewis tested positive before 88 but was let off and allowed to race and the jamaican in the race was caught in 2010 supplying drugs to the athletes he coached.

While Kevin did get beat, that's impressive for someone of his size and training background. Also, that sprinters quads are no joke either, goes to show the type of training that goes into it.

Carl Lewis was such a dirty scumbag. He was taking drugs before any of them and couldn't handle it when Ben decided to do what Carl was doing.

A Flo Jo tribute with Whitney Houston singing. Oh, the irony. Even Craig Titus would't have thought that one up.

So was his time faster than usain bolt?

His time was 9.79 s which was not bettered until Tim Montgomery ran a 9.78 a little over 14 years later, which is an amazingly long stretch for a sprint record.  Montgomery's record was later disqualified because he was a juicer too (as if they all aren't, haha).  It wasn't until 2005 that someone beat Johnson's 1988 time and wasn't caught for using PED (or hasn't been yet; Asafa Powell).

Johnson's time in 1987 when he first set the record was 9.83 s, which beat the existing world record by 0.10 s.  That's an incredible margin in a race that short.  It was almost the same margin as what Bolt did with his 9.58, although he was beating his own existing record.  In the course of a year Bolt improved the record by 0.16 s and if anyone approaches that for the next 15 years or so I'd be stunned.

Phelps supposedly signed up for extra drug testing in 2008 and passed like nine tests during the Olympics.  Maybe the tests are better this year so he lowered the dosage.

Do they test for HGH now? A few years ago, the testing wasn't approved. Those swimmers are doing a shitload of it.

I don't think there's a good test for it yet but I don't know for sure, I don't really know much about that kind of stuff.
