Who is Florence Griffith-Joyner

Florence Griffith-Joyner was an American track and field athlete.

Florence Griffith-Joyner retired from competitive track and field after her 1988 Olympic triumph. Griffith-Joyner was tested during competition and did not fail any drug tests. Track athletes commonly retired in their late 20s, and her husband stated that Griffith-Joyner was never interested in being a career sprinter, found the early nights and no-junk-food diet restrictive, and wanted to start a family as well as pursue interests in fashion design and crafts.

Joyner's supporters claimed that the autopsy cleared her of allegations that she used performance-enhancing drugs. The coroner noted that the autopsy records showed that she did not die from drugs or banned substances.
