      Yes, the world has changed a lot.
      But one thing that has remained the same 36 years later is the existence of athletes who have the idea of ​​using medicine to run faster.

      @@rayoconnor4413 During the 1988 Seoul Olympics Florence Griffith Joyner passed every drug test she was given, thus she was definitely not juiced during that race against the Soviets including Olga Bryzgina who finished ahead of her. But I have no doubt that all of those Soviet women were juiced during that era of heavy doping by the Soviets. Their doctors were just extremely skilled at using substances that the testing equipment wasn't even developed to test for. Look at the list of world records that the all-white Soviet teams set in the 1980s that have still not been broken, such as this 1. After the World Anti-Doping Agency developed more & more sophisticated detection techniques the dominance of Soviet & East German women quickly ended.

      Il y a de grandes chances que Sydney Mclaughlin soit dopée. Tout comme Florence Griffith devait l'être. Toutes les deux ressemblent à Marion Jones, dans leur facilité à courir, en arrivant sans être essoufflées et avec un grand sourire... La bonne blague. Marion Jones a été attrapé pour dopage. Florence Griffith n'a jamais pu être attrapée car elle a été intelligente de s'arrêter juste après avoir tout gagné. Sydney Mclaughlin tombera sans doute un jour pour dopage. Reste à savoir quand.

I came in third and was so proud because who I ran against the best in our district, you have to keep up and that last straight give it your all but when you train for a specific race it's totally different your are prepared and condition for that race Flo Jo did great job. Mostly 400meters runners practice with long distance so that have the distance as well as the speed training. Flo Jo was a runner for God job well done Sister.💪💪💪🙏👏

      There is no doubt in my mind that the Soviet women in 1988 were being heavily doped by Soviet doctors instructed to do so by the regime. Are you aware that the same year as this "world record" a Soviet woman smashed the world record in the long jump, setting a new record of 7.52 meters? 6 years later USA's Jackie Joyner Kersee jumped 7.49 meters, still the 2nd longest jump in history. Only after the World Anti-Doping Agency developed more & more sophisticated detection techniques did the dominance of the all-white Soviet Union & East German women wane.

      Not a big surprise when you consider many athletes back then were doping. In the 90's they got wise and used EPO which couldn't be traced. The current men's 1500 metre world record was set using that drug. Nothing else can explain the improvements made by Guerrouj. Initially he was absolutely destroyed by Morcelli and within 3 years he'd taken 9 seconds off his 1995 World Championship runner up time.

      @@michealkelliher8428 It's already an undisputed fact that the East Germans (GDR) were doping. The East Germans kept meticulous records of the drugs that were being administered to each athlete (e.g. drug type, dosage size, dosage frequency, etc.). After the Berlin wall fell, these records were made public for all to see. The size and scope of the East German doping program was absolutely breathtaking. The Soviets were recognized as having a similar state-run program.

The fact is though, while the Americans and other countries in the west were doping privately, they couldn't face the fact they throughout all of the 1980’s, they were beaten on the medals tables in both summer and winter olympic games by the GDR, except for their own little olmpics in LA'84. the Tour de France being a case in point back then, with doping, it eas everywhere, still going on, but not as prominent. As for the Soviets there was not a state doping programme, that's just bollcks by you throwing out that shit. I'm Irish, and I even know that.

    FloJo is the best athlete of all times. Some of her World records have never been broken. Her soul will always be a part of the games--wherever they are held. She showed an amazing effort in this race. Probably her best showing was in 1996 when she jumped despite a huge injury.

    The women's world record in the 4x4 was broken 15 times from 1969 to 1988. This is the last one. Each record was broken by either the Communist East Germans or USSR except for 1 or 2 in the late 60's. By 1996 much of the testing for doping was figured out and, amazingly, Russia and Germany, not only never broke another record, they never finished in the top two in any race of any merit, Olympics or World Championships. In fact, just 1 third place finish in 1996. The USA has won every Olympic women's 4x4 since 1996.

      @@kevinhunter7235 No, that's not why. You're suggesting that name changes in countries precluded runners in those regions from performing in track. Ridiculous to suggest that taking the wall down affected the biology of the runners. In fact, Germany gained the advantage of having East and West Berlin. We're all aware of the name changes and we're also aware that it doesn't matter what you call them. My point stands. It's irrelevant that the Soviet Union became Russia in 1991. It's the same people who magically lost all their talent because drug testing became required.

On 7 August 2016, the International Paralympic Committee announced that it had voted unanimously to ban the entire Russian Paralympic team from competing at the 2016 Summer. On 9 December 2016, Canadian lawyer Richard McLaren published the second part of his independent report. The investigation claimed that from 2011 to 2015, more than 1,000 Russian competitors in various sports (including summer, winter, and Paralympic sports) were involved in a cover-up. They have state sponsored doping and have for decades and these are just the ones caught. The Russian don't lead this event. The USA does. Russian women in this race look like dudes because of the steroid use. The over usage is so obvious it's absurd to suggest, "hey they're all the same"

    As a lifelong track fan I wonder why I bother to watch these. Some beautiful running, just a shame it was all tainted and the authorities allows us sports fans to be cheated of fair competition. Yes, I'm bitter and I feel sad for the many clean and natural runners who were denied their rewards.

      Oh, puhleeze. I've been in the sport over 40 years and knew what I was watching and still enjoy it to this day. It was a level playing field. As the late coach of Ben Johnson said in his book "you can start with your starting blocks a meter behind or start with them even with everyone else".
      The history of sports is the history of performance enhancement. Through many means. The whole puritanical belief in "pure sport" is exactly that: a belief. It isn't true history, though.

      Clean and natural runners? Do you have any clue how deep into the field you have to go to find those. Such runners don't exist in the finals or even semi final rounds atleast most times.

      This is soul destroying for a runner. All you get here is pages and pages about how Flo Jo was the most gifted runner ever and a joy to watch.
      To me, she is someone who has assisted in damaging my sport.
