      A statement from FloJo and her husband, Al Joyner:
      “I know exactly what people say about me,” he 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. He said his wife's astonishing gains are the result of being "trained as a man." He added: “We bought a $150 leg exerciser and he did leg rolls every night. Over 20 pounds every night to add strength to your legs. He 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
      "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 she 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 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.
      FloJo's death was caused by an epileptic seizure due to a congenital brain disorder, sadly drowned RIP❤

    • @shanesanders4730
      @shanesanders4730 ปีที่แล้ว +12

      Right...I've noticed this also! Her stride actually does change somewhere around that area, where she gives a little tiny bit more knee lift, and she's kicking her toes out, as well as reaching her arms very far forward to match the legs. This leg action looks like something that will cause most folks to pull a hamstring, because it heavily relies upon the hamstring to pull her forward. There is so much to this technique I'm thinking I truly don't believe she was doping...her mechanics and plan of execution are so advanced, drugs simply cannot create this situation on their own. With the shoes and track surfaces we have today, especially with a drive phase, this woman would be running 10.3 today.

It's going to be....doping for sure, the super fast tracks, the super spikes, athletes today can go pro right out of high school so they can train all the time vs work due to being sponsored and paid,. the coaching is better, the meets designed for WR's with the rabbits and the new pacing lights.. endless. Elaine T-H has the best shot at breaking these WR's and I would love it. Just because she breaks FloJo's records doesn't alter FloJo's legendary status. I was there in 88 watching it all happen in real time. FloJo transcended track and brought excitement to the womens side with her high fashion, looks, wild sexy outfits, the hair, the full body suits with the cap, the smile and joy while running... She captured the worlds attention just like Bolt did for the same reason...the IT factor besides the WR's. We just had the games..did anyone capture the worlds attention (not just track fans) like Bolt did for so many years or FloJo in 88. Think not. They transcended the track world to elevate the excitement which pulled people in. FloJo was an even bigger cultural phenom then she was on the track. I think the track world has wasted bolt after he retired. The sport needed him as an ambassador. FloJo predated Jones but I remember after her insane WR at the trials all eyes, doctors, testers, skeptics...were on her like clue. She was tested and re-tested then it got even worse after the games because of Ben Johnson. There was more testing. She was later tested during the autopsy after her career and life were long over. how about innocent until proven guilty but now it is everyone is guilty no matter the testing.

      Even given the widespread assumption that the whole field was doped up - making it an "equal" playing field - she still had the best technique which is why she won; her ability to maximize the efficiency of her front-end mechanics is why she increased the gap at the end. Sha'carri Richardson best demonstrates how effective the "flo-jo technique" is towards the end of the race. Elaine Thompson as well.
      People assume every pro athlete is on something illegal, but find real joy in 'canceling' the winners on that basis. Makes no sense.

They have no idea of how long they've been used, and how many elite athletes use them which is just about all of them...I'd say 85%, and the other 15% never get within the top 100 in their sport so they don't even know them.
      Wasnt it Katt William's that made the joke about how the athletes keep getting bigger and stronger and faster the older they get and no one even cares to realize that's not how it works? Theres this interview with Usain Bolt and the reporter is asking him about the very suspicious times the Jamaican track team did and he got soo mad at her for asking but then again didnt come straight out and deny they were doing PEDs either. Lol who is that cyclist Hamilton something that came out with how the US team doctor walked around with a fisherman's vest on (you know the vests with about 50 different little pockets) and all the pockets had a different PED in them and everyone on the team was using and everyone on the foreign teams were using. Lance Armstrong slammed him as a liar and then about a year later cane out with the truth that he'd been using along with everyone else that cycles professionally. Hamilton said the PED use was so widespread that he doesn't think anyone could be natural and still compete at that level. What do you think of Michael Phelps? You think hes ever used because he came out pretty hard against it and said, if you've ever been caught doping even once you should never be able to compete again.

      @gmellias Understanding this race, Marles Gohr, Silke Mouller names that have not been mentioned, who were World 100m Champs before the finals. Did not make the finals, Flojo, Ashford, Torrance, Dresler, Ottey, Jackson, Cuth ert ran the Eastern-Bloc doppers off the Track. Look at the last two semifinals before the final these were the fastest women in the World a year earlier;and many them did not make the final.
