Christina Cahill should be the real gold medal winner here

[@frankiedelgadoes]

Yes since we all should just assume all British runners are clean- Lindford Christie, Dwain Chambers, Mitchell-Blake, CJ Ujah, and many others, LOL! Also while I can see defaulting to the Soviets doping, you have no basis for knowing Ivan is on drugs other than how strong she was. Heck many less Romanians failed drug tests than British runners.

@@frankiedelgadoes many East Germans failed less drugs tests than British runners as well. Your point is? Ps, I’m from Sydney.

[@frankiedelgadoes]

@@darrenshaw767 Nobody failed drug tests in the 80s, and East Germany did not exist in the 90s and beyond (and also Germany all but wiped out their doping program with the unification) so your point is moot.
