While some of the history buffs are here I may as well post a video I caught on YouTube the other day. Don't know if you've seen it - from a 1978 GB vs GDR 800m race featuring Olaf Beyer and Straub for the GDR and Dave Warren and Peter Hoffman for GB (Seb Coe was scheduled to run but pulled out at the last minute and replaced by Warren). Hoffman looked like he had a lot of talent with a Dave Wottle type finish, but went backwards after this year. He himself posted the video and claims he knew Beyer was doped.

I read somewhere that Olaf Beyer after crossing the finish line in the 800m final of the 1978 EC, ran straight to the tunnel to avoid drug testers?
