Michael Johnson Stroke

Wow interesting, yet he looks in good shape.

Not good.

He may be genetically predisposed to early stroke-- almost all his immediate family members are morbidly obese-- or it could be due to somethin else.

Long-term effects of steroids.

A TIA is not uncommon with people his age and who have never been PED users

Too many possible reasons for such an event to determine at a distance that it was due to roids. Joe Biden had a brain aneurysm at around the same age and he has been giving inappropriate shoulder rubs and physically threatening presidents ever since. Hopefully MJ chooses a better path.

Let's wish him a tremendous recovery!

Pfffft. Hardly. Not atypical for an African American make with a genetic predisposition to carotid artery disease. Besides, it was GH that made the Atlanta Games so spectacular!

Good point: HGH is not a steroid.

Glad you smell what I'm stepping in...??

Not uncommon? Really? Numbers, please.

Ackbar, he’s a joke. Don’t forget EPO, btw.

I have wondered when these things would start happening, but overall it still seems like a crapshoot.

Don't forget that Paul Koech just died the other day. Doped up 90s athletes starting to drop like flies?

I didn't say it was "not uncommon" so I'll decline your demand for stats. I said that he may be genetically predisposed. My dad started to have these around the same age. No drugs, no alcohol-- in his case, a birth defect was to blame.

Obviously not a dr said it.

As long as the 80’s guys are still alive, the jury is still out...but there was FloJo.

Bodybuilders have been dropping like flies

For years back the 90s and early 2000s I heard rumors these guys were on insulin and testosterone/hgh. And I always thought, wait 15-20s years and guys would start coming down with diabetic problems or prostate cancer. Time lapsed and I didn't hear much. Slowly we've learnt that more and more top sprinters were also using EPO. I wonder if the revelations of what concoctions these guys were on will start coming out. MJ though still looked healthy, see Ngeny or Komen, they look terrible.

African Americans are predisposed to heart disease, this is a fact that cannit be disputed.

See MJs 400m record, that looks like the most amount of muscle one could put on their frame and still race a fast 400m. I honestly thought his 400m record wouldn't be beaten until the 2030s with improved testing. Mind you I didn’t think his 200m record would go either.

I always used to say, a sprinter that looks like he spends more time in the weight room than on the track is on steroids - MJ, Burrell, Johnson, Crawford, Gay, etc.

Take a look at Christian Coleman and his 15-year old girl arms and note the difference. Noah Lyles included. A minimal amoutn of muscle.

Also TIA is not an accepted side effect of PED use.

Maybe we're predisposed to fried chicken... Anyway, I just hope he doesn't start groping ladies and threatening the Commander in Chief with physical violence like Crazy Joe.
