Tim Montgomery...100m
Houston McTear....100m
SET hs RECORD in 1982 , still stands, swollen brain occurred when he was 32
Darrell Robinson - 400m(44.69)
Tried to drink Antifreeze
Darrell s physical skills outweighed his mental. That 400 time still blows my wind . What else is Robinson known fo? Happened about 1989.
"...and an 800-meter runner, Darrell Robinson, told a German magazine, in a paid interview, that he had sold her human growth hormone six months before the '88 Games. He claimed she had slipped him 20 $100 bills and that she'd said, "If you want to make a million dollars, you've got to invest some thousand dollars."
Flo Jo couldn't bite her lip any longer. She went on the "Today" show and called Robinson a "crazy, lying lunatic." Years later, Robinson's credibility would take a hit when he tried to commit suicide by drinking antifreeze."
