The pessimist in every one thinks that, but then you have to ask, why haven't they all been busted if that is the case, they all have to adhere to Olympic drug tests.

Yeh I agree we can be a bit pessimistic about it...but when you here how easy it is to get by the drug testing it makes you like that.... To be honest though I don't really give a f**k if they are all geared up 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'm sure it was the 88 Olympics in Korea 6 of the 8 .....100meter finalists were found to be using PED...Ben Johnson...caught all the flack cos he got caught straight away ....the others got caught later when they re tested the samples as technology got better with the testing....think the same happened in 2012 in London....forgot the weight category..but the weight lifting ended up the 7th place competitor ended up with gold....all of them in front of him...and a number behind him all got pinged for doping 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It was brushed under the carpet for him, he was the golden boy of American athletics. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

He passed as it was from one of his supplements containing ginseng. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Who really knows hey. Linford got busted after he'd retired at this small event, doesn't add up, why would you risk your entire reputation for an event that doesn't really mean anything when you're pushing 40.
