Carl Lewis's GH jaw was out of control.

Carl got caught for using stimulants or something (or maybe it was some sort of masking agent) but nothing ever came of it.

He also never got any big endorsement deals because people thought he was a homosexual.

carl got done for pseudo ephedrine, so did christie.

GH is tested for now, using biological passports, in fact this year, some athletes got banned for last years world champs due to HGH indications.

Ben wasnt using the best drugs, he was stupid and got done for using them up to and during the comp.

Anyone who knows can go through these athlete's progression and decide for themselves who was taking stuff and who wasnt.

Carl improved only a tenth of a second in a career of over 10 years at the top. Ben suddenly got much better after being an also ran, and improved from 10.2 to 9.8 in a  span of about 3 years...

Flo Jo went from an 11.1 runner to a 10.5 runner in under 2 years...at a mature age too.

It was hardly the dirtiest race ever...the 1960s and 1970s and early 1980s were just full of doping athletes. and they took whatever they wanted.

I sort of agree (assuming you're implying Lewis wasn't using PED).  He was a phenom at a young age and never really improved by big leaps, just steadily got a little better and maintained that for a while.  He was dominant in the long jump though well into his 30s against younger athletes who were all probably using drugs, which makes me think he probably used a little something to extend his career that long.

And Carl didn't really lift weights like Ben was doing. He was too busy getting his hair done and doing his nails for the boy'z.

He was caught for using some banned stimulant though.  Not really on the same level as equipose or whatever Johnson was on (although maybe Carl's stuff was some masking agent, I don't know anything about that kind of thing).

"I'm pretty sure someone put something (Winstrol) in my Gatorade."  -Ben Johnson

When we all heard him say that on TV, we looked at each other. . . fell on the floor. . . and rolled around laughing for hours.

Carl Lewis doped too.

Get over it.

What is indeed telling, and is something anyone seldom hears about, is that diuretics turn samples into "water".

Who would've fucking thought! (At least back in the 80s).

This goes to show that any one-balled schmuck with a ¼ genetic advantage can become a phenom, provided he's got a "guru" who knows how to turn urine samples into "water" (this later sentence proves to me that the anti-doping agencies aren't neutral).

Is it me or... being a non-African American, hasn't Carl always sounded like The House Negro pointing the finger at the (and more genetically gifted field) darker folk? Just sayin...

That surprised me as well,i mean,i know diuretics are used to excrete water,so i`m thinking by taking them before urinating for the test meant mainly water was just excreted.

Wasn't there an interview in Bigger, Stronger, Faster with a former drug tester who claimed that Lewis had teasted positive just prior to the 1984 Olympics? They let him off because of the national shame it would have brought to the host country or something like that.

I'd like to know what Michael Johnson was on. No guy can run that fast naturally with such an unnatural stride and take so much off a 200m record which had stood since 1979.

this shook the world more then your video







I wonder what that guy would do against a honey badger. He'd probably win, cause the honey badger really don't care, it doesn't give a shit about running. It eats larvae....

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.

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

Still juiced to the gills and got away with it like Carl because of payoffs.

 >:(

You two bitches are playing with fire.  Flo Jo has nothing to with those douches, Lewis and Johnson.  And if they could have proven drugs, they would have brought her down, just like Jones. Heart disease is heart disease amongst blacks, and it's genetic just like with the Eastern Europeans.

Bastards!
