and in a related story-

Aside from the controversy of whether her world record should have been held legal in view of the anemometer issues, during her 1988 breakthrough year, Griffith-Joyner was dogged by rumors of drug use. Some suggested that her times could only be the result of using steroids or other performance-enhancing drugs, mainly in that she was rather old for a sprinter (she was 28 years old in 1988), that her physique changed dramatically in 1988, showing marked gains in muscle mass and definition, and her performance improved dramatically over a short period of time. Before the 1988 season, Griffith Joyner's best 100 meter time was 10.96 seconds — not even in the then best 40 marks of all time. In 1988 she improved that by 0.47 seconds, a time that no one has approached since. Similarly, her pre-1988 best at 200 meters was 21.96, a mark not in the top 20 runs on the all-time list. In 1988 she improved that by 0.67 seconds, another time which has not been approached. Griffith-Joyner attributed the change in her physique to new health programs.[3]
Her retirement from competitive track and field after her 1988 Olympic Games triumph further fueled the controversy as mandatory random drug testing was about to be implemented in 1989. Under the less stringent testing schedule during her career, no evidence was found that Griffith-Joyner used performance enhancing drugs. It is now acknowledged that East Germany, for example, conducted a massive program of drug use which also went undetected under the old system of testing. Sprinter Ben Johnson tested positive at the same Olympic Games.
Her death, which autopsies revealed was due to a congenital defect, was a matter of dispute. The authorities stated that there was no indication of any drug or steroid use, past or present, information that her family lauded. The coroner's office was not allowed to test Griffith-Joyner's body for drugs, steroids or growth hormones after her death.[4]
Her death at 38 was seen by some as another case of steroid use resulting in the user dying young.[5]
The effect of questionable, and seemingly unreachable, times posted by Griffith-Joyner and others (see Marita Koch and Jarmila Kratochvilova) in the 1980s on women's sprinting was described in 1995 by then 200 meter world champion Gwen Torrence: "To me they don't exist and women sprinters are suffering as a result of what she did to the times in the 100 and 200".[3]

I was being sarcastic... Bobbi Brown is a waste of space and Whitney must have been on crack back then to hook up wid dis breddah...

Mosiah and Baddaz the entire US track and field operation from 1984 to now is a complete and utter fraud. Every single medal those guys ever got should be given back. I believe it was either Baddaz or Jamekan who said years ago..........Long time dem fi erase all dem druggists records. - T.K.
