Doping control now is better, I will be the first to condemn athletes if they doped, but there is also a "grey zone" what is allowed.


Well said. If nothing comes up, I have no choice but to give her the benefit of the doubt. I don't want to be hard on someone who could actually be an honest person, and there is no solid proof. I was always 50/50 when it came to Usain Bolt. In 2013, the Jamaican anti-doping commission was disbanded because they weren't testing their top athletes. As we both know, a positive result for someone like Bolt would have been catastrophic for the entire sport. Some of Bolt's fans may find it hard to believe that their hero could have used performance-enhancing drugs, but they shouldn’t, especially considering the fact that the USATF successfully suppressed a positive test from Carl Lewis in the '80s


As a kid I was a fan of bad boy Ben Johnson still remember he was expelled and put on a plane right away.
One of those legendary stories in Olympic history, but I was in shock lol.


As a kid, I rooted for all the bad boys, including Ben Johnson, Diego Maradona and John Gotti lol

But I have grown quite a bit in my old age, and now I value the good guys a lot more. Today, I would rather have dinner with Nelson Mandela than any of the people I looked up to as a kid

But you had to play it cool, had to do it your way
Had to be a fool, had to throw it all away
