Doping Speculations


After her major performance leap in 1988, doping rumors began to circulate even during her active career. Cited were external characteristics such as a clear increase in muscle mass within a short period of time or a deeper voice than before.[15] Added to this were rumors about covered-up positive doping tests[6][16] and her retirement at the peak of her performance five months after the Olympic Games, which took place a few months before the introduction of out-of-competition doping controls.[17][18] Brazilian middle-distance runner Joaquim Cruz suggested in a TV interview during the 1988 Olympic Games that Griffith-Joyner and Jackie Joyner-Kersee must be using banned substances for muscle growth.[19] Olympic champion Carl Lewis responded in December 1988, after a speech at the University of Pennsylvania, to an audience question by saying he knew from some “very reliable sources” that Griffith-Joyner was taking steroids.[20][21] He also stated that he believed the situation was rooted in Griffith-Joyner’s former coach.[20][A 1] Lewis is said not to have known that his remarks were being recorded for the student newspaper The Daily Pennsylvanian, and he apologized after publication, saying he had no personal knowledge of any doping use by Griffith-Joyner or her coach.[21] In his autobiography Inside Track, Lewis later referred to Griffith-Joyner’s muscular and vocal changes[22] and wrote that “in the world of track and field […] the opinion that Florence was doped was universally held”.[23]


Sprinter and former junior world record holder Darrell Robinson accused several U.S. track athletes and coaches of doping abuse in an interview with the news magazine Stern in September 1989.[24][25] Among them was Griffith-Joyner’s coach Bob Kersee, with whom Robinson himself had trained since 1987.[26] Robinson also claimed to have sold Griffith-Joyner a vial of human growth hormone (HGH) in March 1988.[24] Griffith-Joyner rejected the accusations and called the connected Robinson a “compulsive, crazy, lying lunatic” on the TV show Today (“Darrell, you are a compulsive, crazy, lying lunatic”).[27][28] Robinson later stated that because of his allegations, he had been practically excluded from European track-and-field competitions and thus his career had ended, but he stuck to his accusations.[29][30]


Griffith-Joyner’s death sparked a discussion about long-term consequences of anabolic steroid abuse or other performance-enhancing substances.[31] Alexandre de Mérode—chairman of the IOC’s medical commission, himself previously criticized for not pursuing positive tests at the 1984 Olympic Games[32]—spoke out against doping speculation a few days after her death and pointed out that no banned substances had ever been detected in Griffith-Joyner’s tests.[4][33] Her former training partner Lorna Boothe, on the other hand, stated in connection with the death that in 1987 she had been told by a nurse working at a hospital in California that Griffith-Joyner had been regularly treated with anabolic steroids and testosterone.[34]


On the occasion of the 25th anniversary of the legendary world record over 100 meters, the daily newspaper Die Presse reached the following conclusion in 2013: “The triple Olympic champion of Seoul 1988 was never tested positive, but was always associated with doping.”[35]

Allegations of performance-enhancing drug use​

After her record-shattering performances at the 1988 U.S. Olympic trials, she became an object of suspicion when she arrived at the 1988 Olympic Games in Seoul.[47] Athletes, including Joaquim Cruz and Ben Johnson, expressed disbelief over Griffith Joyner's dramatic improvement over a short period of time.[48] Before the 1988 track and field season, her best time in the 100-meter sprint was 10.96 seconds (set in 1987). In 1988, she improved that by 0.47 seconds.[49]

Her best before 1988 at 200 meters was 21.96 seconds (also set in 1987). In 1988, she improved that by 0.62 seconds to 21.34 seconds, another time that has not been approached. Griffith Joyner attributed the change in her physique to new health programs.[50] Al Joyner replaced Bob Kersee as her coach, and he changed her training program to include more lower-body-strength training exercises such as squats and lunges.[51]

In a 1989 story for which he was purportedly paid $25,000,[52] Darrell Robinson, a former teammate of Griffith Joyner, claimed that he sold her 10 mL of growth hormone for $2,000 in 1988. He said Joyner told him: "if you want to make $1 million, you've got to invest some thousands."[50] Robinson claimed to have received steroids from coach Bob Kersee and said he saw Carl Lewis inject himself with drugs he believed to be testosterone.[52] In 1990, Lewis alleged in his autobiography that Griffith Joyner had used drugs.[53]

Neither Robinson nor Lewis provided evidence for their allegations, and Robinson was shunned by the athletics community, leading to the premature end of his career.[54] After the 1988 Olympics, Griffith Joyner retired from competitive track and field, a year before the introduction of mandatory random drug testing in 1989.[47][55] She was repeatedly tested during competition and passed every test.[56][57]

After her death in 1998, Prince Alexandre de Merode, who held the controversial position as chairman of the International Olympic Committee's medical commission,[58] claimed that Griffith Joyner was singled out for extra, rigorous drug testing during the 1988 Olympic Games following rumors of steroid use. De Merode told The New York Times that Manfred Donike, who was at that time considered to be the foremost expert on drugs and sports, failed to discover any banned substances during that testing.[59] The World Anti-Doping Agency was created in the 1990s, removing control of drug testing from the IOC and De Merode.

Death​

On September 21, 1998, Griffith Joyner died in her sleep at home in the Canyon Crest neighborhood of Mission Viejo, California, at the age of 38. The unexpected death was investigated by the Orange County Sheriff-Coroner's office, which on September 22 declared the cause of death to be suffocation during a severe epileptic seizure.[55]

Griffith Joyner was found to have had a cavernous hemangioma, a congenital vascular brain abnormality that made her subject to seizures.[62] According to a family attorney, she had a tonic–clonic seizure in 1990 and had been treated for seizures in 1993 and 1994.
