To all the hobby scientists on here : in sprinting you can’t just take a substance like HGH or steroids and be faster automatically. There’s no such juice . All sprinters can really do with juice is cut down drastically on recovery times, enabling them to train more. So it is a rather long term thing. More musculature will not necessarily make you faster either. Speed in short distance disciplines is largely improved by long term adaptation processes - tendons , ligaments, neurological optimization, meticulous cultivation of the fastest twitching fiber type. There is no quick fix. Unlike in endurance sports where there is much much more distortion, much more ways to cheat.

You are a fucking idiot. Steroids allow for supra-physiological adaptation of the body, hence why you can surpass your genetic limit while on them (see every Mr. Olympia ever). As for your talking about fast twitch fibers: steroids _help_ with that. Those are the muscle fibers designed for hypertrophy and respond best to juice. Endurance sports it would be harder to cheat at, as you can’t affect the cardiovascular system and slow twitch muscle fibers of the body as potently with steroids, at least I’m assuming. I don’t know if there’s any juice out there that helps with endurance sports, but I do know for sports involving power hormones definitely help. I’m not saying she’s on juice, although from some of these photos it certainly seems like that’s the case, but I am saying you’re absolutely fucking wrong claiming steroids wouldn’t help with sprinting competitions.

@@TheWayToWin Usain Bolt improved by 0.34 sec in one season between the ages of 21 and 22, at an age when you'd expect him to mature physically as well as improve through training plus his record of 9.58 is the fastest by just 0.1 sec to (Tyson Gay/Yohan Blake). Flo Jo improved her time by 0.47 almost half a second ( so your post is factually incorrect) and her time is 0.15 faster than the next quickest athlete ( Carmelita Jeter). Flo Jo's improvement came in her 29th year, when you would have expected her best years were behind her and then she retired. By comparison Bolt's world record came when he was 23 and he ran on for many years after that. Unfortunately all the women's records from 100m to 800m were set by athletes who were aided by drugs. Which is why those records have never been under threat- Flo Jo's records are now 42 years old. Flo Jo should have been setting world records (or close to it) in her early 20's - it never happened.

Not end of story. If the tests were good at detecting every substance that she could have used, which they were not, it is still possible that she used something the years prior to 1988. Also, a lot of the "unbeatable" world records in throwing disciplines are from that time, by athletes tested with the same methods, which are considered almost 100% a result of doping. This does not mean that she was not clean. It means that anyone stating that they know she was clean are either liars, stupid, or misinformed.

@@japphan - If you can't prove the case she took PEDs, the argument becomes a case of sour grapes. I choose to believe she was clean of steroids, growth hormones and the like, simply because I've seen what those drugs do to individuals, before and after competitions. Even the timing cycles for taking the steroids known in the 1980's had to be known to avoid random testing, and masking medications can only do so much. That's how the Germans got found out. What good would blood doping do for a sprinter? Growth hormone overage in a woman is more obvious than with men. My personal opinion is that she was on a somewhat different diet than her competitors. Like I said, she was years ahead of her time. The only thing in my estimation she could have took (in theory) was epinephrine to up her "fight or flight" response, cycled in such a way to speed up neuromuscular response. She ran like a gazelle, scientifically proven to be a unique specimen in running technique - man or woman.

In the 80’s, beating those tests was like taking Candy from a baby. Out of thousands of east german women athletes who competed under the state sponsored doping program, only 1 athlete got caught once in 20 years. In those days there weren’t out of competities tests. Flojo convienently quit the sport in 89 when it was announced that there were going to be out of competition tests while in 88 she didn’t mention quitting at all. But she was a sight to behold, beauty and strenght combined in a never seen before fashion. I’m glad i was a kid in those days and witnessed her greatness on the track, but i can’t believe she did it clean. I mean she decimated the most heavy dopingusers ever, they looked like beginners next to flojo. Ben Johnson got caught because he got injured close to the olympics and he thought he needed Some chemical assistance closer to the games. If he didn’t suffer that injury, he wouldn’t have got caught as he could have started his regimen with a safer timing towards the games.

This just sounds like a very long way of saying, "she runs on the very tippy top of her toes/balls of her feet," which is what you're supposed to do in sprints. If you think about it, it's impossible to have you knees together at the same time as the point of contact with the ground unless you're running on only the balls of your feet/toes, and doing that necessarily decreases the contact time with the ground.

I'm glad I came across this. I suspect I'm like a lot if non-US sport lovers who were always skeptical of FloJo at the time, but thought that her fellow Americans supported her case. I can see from the variety of comments here that that the real spread of opinion about her is wide, even in her home country. When an athlete in their late 20s suddenly makes such huge gains, there will always be suspicion. The sudden retirement, and the shock early death just added to that aura, if contemporary media coverage in my own country (Australia) is any indication.

As far as I am aware most world class sprinters turn over at roughly the same rate so those who’ve covered more ground in the air are running faster. This is one reason Bolt is so fast. He’s huge and his steps are longer. The weird thing about him is that he should not have that world class turnover at his size... but he does. Flojo has a visibly gigantic stride and is still able to spring forward and turn over at that world class rate as well. Much of that is pure strength. The ability to glide through the air farther than the competition and still power through a step without buckling the knee or braking with the heel makes her faster. That extra glide makes it look really smooth. Also to cite another example entirely, Phillip Lindsay went from a 5.5 to a 5.3 40 between the end of ncaa football and the nfl combine...just a couple months of training when he was already a leading div 1 player. So speed can very much be trained at any level.

I haven't seen anyone else, doing this. and idk if I should say this, cause someone could read it and break her records, which I don't want to.

I think the main reason for the "hate" on her isn't a simple: "She was so good it can be aonly explained by doping." It is more the fact that she was just breaking the top 8 for few years and then only for few weeks for 3 races she was god-tier. This is incredibly suspicious. Every athlete usually has "the season" when they go from top 8 to a clear winner, but you can track the continuous improvement from previous seasons and you can see the greatness in the following seasons even if they've gotten worst. And then there is Bolt who was basically unbeatable for 9 years straight.

If you check his iaaf profile you can clearly see how he slowly went from over 21 s times to flat 20 over the course of 3 years than pushed it down to 19,70 range in another 4 years. In 2008 he started to combine 200 with 100 and that is his year. I strongly advise you (and anyone) to actually look up the information you claim. It took me about 1 minute to check that you have no idea what you are talking about. I recommend you click threw his "results" on his iaaf profile: www.iaaf.org/athletes/jamaica/usain-bolt-184599 Now what progression Flo Jo had? 1981 to 1987 all her times where basically 100 - 11,00; 200 - 22,20. And then 10,54; 21,20 in 1988 and in 1989 she ended her carreer... Not suspicious at all. Also, "sudden" = "occurring or done quickly and unexpectedly or without warning". How is 4 years sudden? Also, also, 1980's are notorious for substance abuse and Bolt was running in an era when every other top sprinter was busted but he is clean (see: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_doping_cases_in_athletics ).

Also, although speed can be trained and improved in every individual, I think that's fairly misleading because I would argue that you're biologically born with an upper limit, everything from height, weight, muscle mass, strength, power, lactate threshold, testosterone levels, hGH, can only be trained so much until you've reached close to the best you can be.

@@judec4911 well for starters, everyone has different amounts of different hormones, for instance testestorone, we aren't all born with the same amount. And as we know testosterone is linked to performance enhancement which is why people like to dope using that hormone. If we arent all born with the same amount that means some people have a genetic predisposition to better performance. Furthermore, studies done on VO2 Max, which is basically how well your body absorbs oxygen, have shown that everyone innately has different abilities. Although your Vo2 max CAN be trained and improved, it can only be improved to a certain extent meaning people born with a naturally higher Vo2 max will have a much easier time trainer harder, and performing better. 🤷 don't get me wrong I wish we were all born on a level playing field but, it's simply not the case.
@judec49115 жыл бұрын
The Lone Ranger Testosterone has been shown to be increased with a variety of activities such as short term abstinence, the consumption of certain supplements, and a high level of exercise, again, testosterone levels are not genetically limited, perhaps an advantage will be gained with baseline levels, but this does not imply the impossibility of increasing testosterone beyond another with a so called advantage. Also, with VO2 max, there is a lot of ambiguity as to whether genes do play a significant part or not. I understand what you say about the playing field not being level to begin with, but I know that the correct types of training, both mental and physical, can be used to completely override these genetic advantages. I’m not claiming everyone is born the same, but I don’t believe this limits people as to their potential, unless a genuine disorder is present.

@@judec4911 I respect and now further understand your position. But to me, if you aren't born on a level playing field that means it takes different amounts and levels of training (mental, physical, nutritional etc) to get to the same amount of fitness, in this case sprinting speed. If it was simply a matter of training regardless of genetic/biological predispositions, women should be able to train hard enough to be as fast as the fastest men, but the reason they can't is because they're physically limited (when it comes to sprinting) due to how they are biologically born. Similarly we are all limited to work with what we are given at birth. Sure you can diet and try things to increase your own testosterone but if someone with naturally more than you does the same thing, you can't catch them. Perhaps I'm wrong but that's why I said I would argue this, not that I know all the facts.

The percentage that she took down the previous record--the record she shattered--her quick departure from the sport, and that four years prior to the 1988 Olympics she was not close to her eventual peak....her acne, muscle growth, changes in her face and head and deepened voice and her cause of death all add up to use of steroids. It's not possible for her to achieve what she did, when she did it without steroids. She got out before she got caught and before the technology was able to catch up with her steroid use.

@@keldonmcfarland2969 right. I noticed that her forehead looks swolen in 1988. Her face definitely changed. SMH

I remember being stationed in Germany in the early to mid 80's, I ran track for one of our intramural teams. One day our team was practicing and Flo Jo ( a nick name that was not really worldly known yet) was practicing on the German track.She was known as Florence Joyner). A. Simpson and B. Morehead was the top stars. ( My sister competed against Morehead in High School. Flo Jo's body was more like a fine model's body. Approximately 1 1/2 years later I was stationed in Korea (88). Where the Olympics was held. Flo Jo's body was a mast of ripped large muscles. In the military we probably do more physical training then anyone in the world. Her muscles were like a man's. How did she get so big in such short time? I was pretty built and when I stood next to Flo Jo all that I can say is Damm!

I watched all her races and noticed the startling transformation of her body. I was also amazed at the speed she surprisedly possessed with that transformation. You can speculate that her transformation was enhanced by some very hard work. You can also be correct in saying there was some obvious help in acheiving muscles that most men in the same sport didn't possess. We know that growth hormones and other undetectable drugs were being used by all nations and athletes. There will always be suspicions concerning these super human efforts and transformations. Wish it wasn't so.

She looked no different than the other runners, so I cannot say the look of her body reflected any PEDs. If you look at pictures of her and other female runners running, they look no different in terms of musculature.

The woman was just a genetic monster. I was around to see her race live. She was a monster.....unlike anything a female sprinter can do today.

It is so sad that people would have to resort to the use of drugs to run faster. In that era of rampant drug use, Flo Jo remained the epitome of the clean athlete.
