I'm not saying he was clean, but I have never seen anything from him admitting that he took gear. Here's an interview from 2014 where he says he never did. https://bleacherreport.com/articles/2226821-wwe-mark-henry-interview-exclusive-haters-steroids-and-15-years-of-smackdown He cut a promo on The Dudley Boys and he said it It's on Youtube Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if she did, if she had pulled out citing mental health problems before the Olympics began, I have a suspicion that you and her other critics would be making the same criticisms. Except with the added factor of saying "she has left her team in the lurch because now the best gymnast isn't in the team". Well apparently she wasn't allowed her ADHD medication which I didn't know. So I can only apologise if that's the case. Although would have been best if she didn't compete based on that alone as I imagine it would effect her performance. if it isn't true then I stick by my comments that she quit. If she quit before the Olympics on those grounds I wouldn't be critical. It would have allowed the US team time to fully assess the situation and see if they can manoeuvre a way to give them the best chance to win Gold. The image of quitting in the middle of fierce competition isn't good. I know people are sensitive in society nowadays to that supposed harshness but that is how I look at it. Wouldn't be any different if it was a Rangers player. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could see she wasn’t going to go forward because of the injury. After that, she brought up the mental health thing. Hope she is ok for everyone’s sake. If she was injured then fair enough she gave it a go. Something probably was up. Maybe the ADHD story is true. 🤷 Heshootshescores 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mostly bonuses from sponsors and backers, every time they beat a record, more money in the back pocket. Why do it by miles, probably much harder for sprinters than for pole vaulted etc Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moody Blue 9,352 Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 Not sure why Flo-Jo was never done performance enhancing drug taking, her rise and then quick retirement was unprecedented.

I mean this is a fair point. But when you weigh up the evidence, she is more likely to be 'legal' than Flo-Jo, which is all we can really do in athletics now isn't it? She is no doubt TUE'd out her box though - would love to see what medication these top athletes are on. I think some of the lists would be mental. On a side note, Okagbare got done for HGH Mental.

The way I see it, of Flo Jo was obviously doped, and Thompson-Herah has run faster times than all but like, 3 Flo Jo performances, then spikes or not, if Flo Jo was doped then it's pretty likely anyone getting close to her was.
