He was cleared of that by the committee by a vote, after he claimed it was in a supplement.

Cleared on a vote of 11-10. He claimed that as you said. How many people do you know who do not claim similar? Has anyone ever just admitted usage?

My mate took a bunch of ephedrine tablets once, eff me, he could have run to Glasgow and back, he was absolutely off his chops, danced for about 12 hours that night he did.

Your mate must have had some sore legs the next day, did he?

So he was done for nandrolone in 88 too? Or just ephedrine?

You thought right. And you are aware of the performance enhancing qualities of it I assume seeing as you immediately knew what it was and also how to spell it correctly, just from the top of your head 28 years later

Oh ok its just you didn't mention ephedrine and said the 99 and 88 cases were near identical, I wasn't being obtuse I just thought you were saying he was done for nandrolone in 88 too

"In 1999, Christie was found guilty of using the performance-enhancing drug nandrolone following a doping test after an indoor meet in Germany. He was found to have more than 100 times normal levels of the metabolites of nandrolone in his urine. Various explanations were offered to explain the results, including eating avocado, or using nutritional supplements.[18][19][20]"

Avocadoes/ avocados, are a superfood?

They are indeed, make your cock huge too, well, I'm guessing, been eating one a day since childhood and I'm hung like a baby whale.

So I wonder how might the lab results of Johnson, Lewis and Christie...and anyone else for that matter, have looked. Different pick n mixes, or tell tale similarities.

I always thought the American in the ’92 Final looked hyper and pretty “pumped”. Leeroy Burrell I think his name was.....didn’t matter as I think he ended up 5th.
What was the bloke called from St. Kitts and Nevis? Kim someone? I think he was in elite races into his 41st year! Then you had Fredericks of Namibia....a lot of popular guys.

I don't know if that's morally acceptable. I mean, a more well rounded person would not have it. A driven, results focused, trained winner would never cheat at anything. Never. I know because I don't want it to be true.

You don‘t know if Christie was a drugs cheat during his lengthy spell as a champion athlete. I don’t either. My choice, smartarse, is to be of the opinion he wasn’t. You can choose to think anything you like also.

A lot of these artificial hormones aid recovery time which allows athletes to train harder with less rest, but it's no gurantee of improvement.

Where have you got this made up information from, what an utter load of shite. When Chambers was on the peds he set a PB of 9.87secs which was later erased because of his admittance to being on peds, in the same race Tim Montgomery set a new World Record of 9.78, Montgomery was also on peds at the time. Also Chambers was not done for nandrolone, he was done for THG.
