Another shout for Ed Moses. Just didn't lose for my whole childhood.

If not the drugs dodgy how?

there was a tailwind of 5m/s right before and right after the run

its commonly accepted that the wind gauge was'nt working for the final

(in fact you can watch the clip

and see the athletes tops blowing in the wind)

Theres footage of some woman sprinter who was so quick compared to all other women of that era..... however there were strong rumours og her using male hormone drugs or something. The image of her face still haunts me cos she basically looks like a bloke! Sub 1960's. Happy for someone to post it and give me further nightmares
