I'm still a big fan of this lady because I strongly believe she still could have won multiple medals at the Olympics without the steroid. I blame her overweight bodybuilding husband during that period. She has always been adorable to me

I believe that to, *SO Y DID SHE CHEAT⁉️⁉️⁉️*

Stupid thing is she would have won clean.

@Gandrewjm Месяц назад

No. She doped to be competitive. Without cheating she was struggling.

@benwichard3623 Месяц назад

She wasn't winning hence she starting taking steroids

Obadele Thompson ran a 9.69 decades before anyone wind aided , always loved him ,not sure if they have a child but that’s the best sprinting pedigree anyone could ask for , Marion cheated? Zhana block cheated for years and her husband still dopes athletes , it’s not cheating when your all doing the same , Marion’s 10.68 in 98 showed the insane talent , gatlin similar came back after a ban and was still fastest , talent ! Both amazing teenage talents

I am from Barbados and I honestly thought they were still married. To make it clear, Marion was married twice. First to an American athlete, then to the Barbadian athlete. She also had a child with another American athlete. The 1st husband was found doping.

Montgomery who ran 9.78 and was world record holder run 9.91 clean apparently as a junior hence why victor conte looked for him but apparently as he refused to wear balco sponsoring as Nike offered him more , he was off the clear when he ran world record ! Either way obadele or Tim that is an elite sprint pedigree 😂@@cheriphaconnell8437
