Two-time U.S. Olympian and national high school 200m record holder Roy "The Robot" Martin says in a new interview that 80% percent of elite runners used performance enhancing drugs in the mid 1980's to early 1990's.
80%?!?! Is that even possible? Or am I just naive enough to think that it couldn't be that high!
In the sprints, I think it's entirely possible. More than possible. Probable
thats absurd. i am cynical - more cynical than most - but NO WAY 80% were using.
"the robot" martin is just jealous that he peaked at 18 and never had much success on the professional level and never won a medal.
how many u think r using today?
De-nial is not just a river in Egypt. 80% is accurate. Might be higher these days.
I have two things to say to former or current athletes who who cast out their these estimates...1) tell what you know (specifically) or shut up 2) and are you trying to tell us something about yourself (clean or not clean)?
if it's not 110% then people just aren't trying hard enough.

don't worry, most of the drugged up athletes went on to make thousands of dollars, then become coaches on the college level, or more elite levels. Some even became CEO's of important organizations that supress the Running-class.
Its ok though, when infectious disease breaks out, I'm sure they and all the young girls the copulated with will die a horrible death, because, it will be learned, doing drugs lowered their bodies ability to protect itself later on in life.
Don't you just love that shit? Makes you really believe in God doesn't it? Just a lil...c'mon. C'MON!
So all those great times from the 80's are just as suspect as today's times? Could it be that there was never really a running peak in the 80's at all. It just took this long for the natural athletes to catch up to the steroid/blood doping binges of those more heady days?
Yes, I'd say 80% is probably right on the mark. It may have been a little higher. Exactly what makes you think it's much lower today?
probably true, and not just in T & F
