    She was pretty and had style and all that but she was also a cheater. She was never one of the elite sprinters of her era. When you’re one of the elite your greatness is known to all at a very young age not when you’re ready for retirement Unlike Flo Jo, Evelyn Ashford was pretty on the inside out and displayed her greatest from the very beginning of her career. The only way Flo Jo could beat Evelyn Ashford was to get jacked up on PEDs. Evelyn Ashford was a tiny bolt of lightning. Evelyn Ashford was the Truth!
