    re: Reggie Overlord

    HgH .................

    this what changed sprinting in 80's

    far beyond steroids.

    was the difference for flojo.

    first women after carl lewis to benefit

    heavily from it .

    by late 80's secret was out and had ben

    leroy and others adding it to regime

    mostly centered around california area.

    took doping to.next level and then came

    epo for longer sprints .mostly cali. area

    many other women took similar amount of steroids but never this fast

    all about hgh use with high steroid use.

    hgh byself useless but with steroids increase Igf-1 levels far beyond normal

    or with just steroids alone.

    what seeing nowadays.....

    thats where extra 1-2 meters came from.

    re: wejo

    Just wanted to add this page link that has charts showing wind gauge readings for the 100 meters quarter final, semi and final as well as gauge reading for triple jumpers who are jumping at the time flo jo's 100 meter record is taking place. It shows a picture of triple jump pit next to the track where flo jo is running. You may need to translate this page to english.http://blogs.diariovasco.com/airelibre/2013/07/09/yoshihide-kiruy-florence-griffith/

    I'm sure this has been discussed before but I wanted to open it up again. I'm working on the homepage and read how the Indianapolis track is getting destroyed and its where Flojo ran her 10.49 world record. I always knew people viewed the record as suspect (wind). But then I saw it was in the quarterfinals of the Olympic Trials.

    Then I saw an actual video of it:

    I bet most of our viewers have never seen the race. She sure doesn't react like she thinks she just smashed the world record. Can some of the old timers explain how this record is still on the books? Or maybe one of the stat geeks.

    They even show the wind gauge going off the charts immediately after her run.

    Update from 2014: A great in-depth piece on the wind and Flojo's 10.49 has been written and can be found here:

    The fact that ZERO wind was measured is the biggest indicators that there was a problem; rarely does the wind instrument read 0.

    Looks like case closed to me, even without the translation. She even looks guilty like she knew the wind was blasting.

    The photos of her between college and 1988 are pretty spectacular as well, and not in a good way. If anything, her "girly" outfits exacerbated the situation.
