On September 21, 1998, Griffith-Joyner died in her sleep at the age of 38. Her death was investigated by the sheriff-coroner's office. The cause of death was suffocation during a severe epileptic seizure. The Orange County coroner's office noted that the autopsy records showed that she did not die from drugs or banned substances and that tissue and organ tests revealed none of the changes associated with recent steroid use. We love you Flo Jo, R.I.P.

I despise stupid people: "After her death in 1998, Prince Alexandre de Merode, the Chairman of the International Olympic Committee's medical commission, claimed that Joyner was singled out for extra, rigorous drug testing during the 1988 Olympic Games because of 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."

I read only this morning that even Jackie joyner kersee admitted to knowing Flo Jo was using HGH and witnessed her injecting it !

Look at the changes in the times and the period of her carrer. I am not making any acusations it would be wrong. Then look if can can at the type of training she was doing. If you really look hard enough you'll find the answers
