marian jones admits taking steroids, page-9

Someone mention long fingernails?????

Lordie, think you're referring to the late Flo Jo there!

Poor Flo Jo went from boiled lollies and an average running career in the early '80's to a massive new body and a beyond human time in the 100 metres at the 1988 Seoul Olympics. I think her record still stands and would have seen her win a mens final not too many years earlier.

Sadly she died in her 30's a few years ago denying that she ever took performance enhancing drugs. Strangely she never ran after Seoul, preferring to avoid scrutiny.
