      Yes, the world has changed a lot.
      But one thing that has remained the same 36 years later is the existence of athletes who have the idea of ​​using medicine to run faster.

      @@rayoconnor4413 During the 1988 Seoul Olympics Florence Griffith Joyner passed every drug test she was given, thus she was definitely not juiced during that race against the Soviets including Olga Bryzgina who finished ahead of her. But I have no doubt that all of those Soviet women were juiced during that era of heavy doping by the Soviets. Their doctors were just extremely skilled at using substances that the testing equipment wasn't even developed to test for. Look at the list of world records that the all-white Soviet teams set in the 1980s that have still not been broken, such as this 1. After the World Anti-Doping Agency developed more & more sophisticated detection techniques the dominance of Soviet & East German women quickly ended.

Florence Griffith n'a jamais pu être attrapée car elle a été intelligente de s'arrêter juste après avoir tout gagné. Sydney Mclaughlin tombera sans doute un jour pour dopage. Reste à savoir quand.

I came in third and was so proud because who I ran against the best in our district, you have to keep up and that last straight give it your all but when you train for a specific race it's totally different your are prepared and condition for that race Flo Jo did great job. Mostly 400meters runners practice with long distance so that have the distance as well as the speed training. Flo Jo was a runner for God job well done Sister.💪💪💪🙏👏

      There is no doubt in my mind that the Soviet women in 1988 were being heavily doped by Soviet doctors instructed to do so by the regime. Are you aware that the same year as this "world record" a Soviet woman smashed the world record in the long jump, setting a new record of 7.52 meters? 6 years later USA's Jackie Joyner Kersee jumped 7.49 meters, still the 2nd longest jump in history. Only after the World Anti-Doping Agency developed more & more sophisticated detection techniques did the dominance of the all-white Soviet Union & East German women wane.

      Not a big surprise when you consider many athletes back then were doping. In the 90's they got wise and used EPO which couldn't be traced. The current men's 1500 metre world record was set using that drug. Nothing else can explain the improvements made by Guerrouj. Initially he was absolutely destroyed by Morcelli and within 3 years he'd taken 9 seconds off his 1995 World Championship runner up time.

Her 100m time improved from a P.B. of 10.96 set in 1987, to 4 or 5 tenths of a second faster in less than a year. She was on HGH, before they had a test to detect it.

      @Joe Jordan Not really sure where you were going with that. It seemed that Griffith-Joyner retired from the Olympics and athletics to have a child. She waited until 1990 to have her daughter. I would assume that she wanted to make sure the performance enhancers were out of her system before she wanted to conceive.
      Doping in athletics still happens. Except, they use masking agents to prevent the detections.
      And if there were teams that could win at 3 minutes 15 seconds in the women's 4x400 relay, I would be asking questions of them about potential cheating.
