      Flo was the Fastest! But Evelyn is the G.O.A.T.! Felix & Shelly 2nd G.O.A.T.S. not far behind Evelyn! Know there was no proof of flo dopping but Crazy how much faster Flo was than Evelyn all of a sudden that year when she couldn't beat Evelyn all the years before.

      It's not that simple to claim FloJo used drugsCheck. Read Wikipedia. But she definitely did not die from it:
      "The unexpected death was investigated by the Orange County Sheriff-Coroner's office, which announced on September 22 that the cause of death was suffocation during a severe epileptic seizure.[52]
      She was also found to have had a cavernous hemangioma, a congenital vascular brain abnormality that made Joyner subject to seizures.[53] According to a family attorney, she had suffered a tonic-clonic seizure in 1990, and had also been treated for seizures in 1993 and 1994."

    The Jamaicans and Flo Jo's American opponents want to erase her official world records.

The envy, jealousy, anger that they may feel because of this becomes palpable to those who can sense it. It's easier for people to make accusations, find excuses, smear someone (Flo Jo) if their goal is not to acknowledge the wonderful achievements of a certain person. Such is human nature...

Because the enhancements were not refined enough 30-40 years ago, rough edges, so to speak, so it was hard to hide side effects..

      After her death in 1998, Prince Alexandre de Merode, chairman of the International Olympic Committee's medical commission, claimed that Griffith Joyner was singled out for extra, rigorous drug testing during the 1988 Olympic Games following rumors of steroid use. De Merode told The New York Times that Manfred Donike, who was at that time considered to be the foremost expert on drugs and sports, failed to discover any banned substances during that testing (see "Plus: Track and Field; Official Defends Griffith Joyner". The New York Times. Associated Press. September 24, 1998. Archived from the original on June 27, 2017. Retrieved May 11, 2014).The World Anti-Doping Agency was created in the 1990s, removing control of drug testing from the IOC and De Merode. De Merode later stated: "We performed all possible and imaginable analyses on her. We never found anything. There should not be the slightest suspicion."

      Obviously doped. No out of competition testing until the early 90s. The reason no-one can beat her time is that there’s still no drug better for women than exogenous testosterone - anabolic steroids. These remain detectable for a relatively long time in the system so no athlete in their right mind can risk taking these if they are regularly tested. There is still doping of course but there’s nothing available with the strength benefits of anabolics that can be risked with the hope of being clear before the tests.
      She was a stylish sprinter from the start but the anabolics are what gave her the strength to maximise her style. All sprinters at this level are talented so dream on anyone who thinks that her technique is what won this. The deltas at this level are nearly zero - everyone has good technique.
      She was wonderful to watch here and I’d love to say that she was clean - but she wasn’t and that’s reality. Jackie Joyner Kersee the same in the heptathlon. Another ridiculous ‘record’. I’m sorry she died young but she was a doper and that’s the truth
