In December 2014, a documentary aired on German TV in which Savinova admitted to using the anabolic steroid oxandrolone. She said, "Oxandrolone is very quickly out of my body again. It takes less than 20 days. We have tested that. My husband has very good contacts at the doping control laboratory."[1][2]

+AmethystEyes I agree. I used to be so against doping especially in baseball. I thought it cheated the history. I still feel everyone should be on an even playing field but In reality they're not. I believe most if not practically all athletes use something to gain an advantage. They honestly should just allow athletes to use certain things and manage it under doctors supervision as not to have it abused. And there should still be stringent testing.

What the hell are you talking about? Every race is a distance for world records. If there is a world record, then there are people trying to break it because if you have a chance to be the best ever, then you take it.
The 800 meters is really a sad, sad story of steroid abuse and extra testerone as in the case of Semenya. If she/he is allowed to run with extra masculine characteristics then they should allow her competitors to add those as well.
@@rolandgreen7484 Following psychological and medical tests Caster was held to be a woman. End of story. Most Olympic champions are freakish in some way (Phelp has extraordinary long arms) and that's why they are champions.
Look at Semenya at 3:40~3:54 Semenya upped speed but he almost didn't breathe with his big mouth and he was't taking full swings his arms. That's so strange. And look at 3:54~3:55 Semenya downed speed and he was looking at the time board. That's impossible too..this is the final. Nobody couldn't do that in history. Everyone can see he didn't use his all, even judges. And thus far, he have broken many women's track meets for money. And of course other 800m runners know it. Some runners commented about it. But it's not his fault. Not clear rules make he do that.
Most 13 year old female 800 metres runners would pace themselves better than most of these women. Who is moderating this thread? Two very silly comments appear as the only 'Top Comments?'
There is such thing as talent though. Some have more of it, some less. If you are talentless you can be good with a little help of dope. Use your common sense.
The remarks that Semenya didn't want to win are almost certainly utter nonsense. Look at her best time, the times she ran in the Olympics, her even paced running, and how she finished and there lies the answer.
Wait... can someone please explain what happened??? I’m reading the comments and I’m so confused. (I’m probably just stupid enough not to know what was wrong)
Christian 0000 It's IAAF fault. If these morons didn't suspend testosterone limit for women Semenya wouldn't have unfair advantage. Her last season best was over 5 seconds worse than her gold medal time. And they suspened T level limit last year.
God give up about Semenya. She couldn't have won easily, her best time ever is more or less identical to the best time of Mariya Savinova, the Russian is just more tactically astute. Being a winner isn't all talent, it's tactical nouse, Savinova has that in bucket-loads, just look at some of her other races, she is just brilliant.
Maybe she could, but she did mistake, waited too long to pull her maximum. A typical tactical mistake for 800 m, maybe the hardest running distance. To become an olympic champion you must work hard both your legs and your brains. Savinova made just that. Fair win, hands down.

Are you kidding me? 2:00 flat definitely sucks. Like i said before, you would need to be at 1:55 or faster as a 12 year old. Especially for girls.
2:35 is probably good for 12.
Most 13 year old female 800 metres runners would pace themselves better than most of these women. Who is moderating this thread? Two very silly comments appear as the only 'Top Comments?'
Semenya let her win
Who is the guy in green/yellow?
This is how big our running track is
❤️ Russia from India
anita hindriksdottir from iceland will win the 800m olympics one day
Well she only was 20th at Olympics lol and 27th on world championship
Ara Arutyan the results will be anulled and she'll be champion of both in a year or two
They're all cheating if they are beating other drug cheats. The ones who are not drugged are probably not even in the final.
Use your common sense.
There is such thing as talent though. Some have more of it, some less. If you are talentless you can be good with a little help of dope. Use your common sense.
Greg Grimer
Yet you display no common sense at all
The remarks that Semenya didn't want to win are almost certainly utter nonsense. Look at her best time, the times she ran in the Olympics, her even paced running, and how she finished and there lies the answer.
I can't wait to go to Olympic camps and run for jamaica
Am a 1500m runner but I also do 800m
The 1st Russian winner must brush her teeth 🤣🤣 omg her teeth is gold like the Olympic medallllll
OMG
Wait... can someone please explain what happened??? I’m reading the comments and I’m so confused. (I’m probably just stupid enough not to know what was wrong)
Semenya was a DSD athlete, and the Russians were doping.
Savinova was on that great stuff from Russia, though. And Semenya is a man.
yeah she has an unfair advantage, but the comments made by the athletes this year towards her were cruel. true. but cruel

It's IAAF fault. If these morons didn't suspend testosterone limit for women Semenya wouldn't have unfair advantage. Her last season best was over 5 seconds worse than her gold medal time. And they suspened T level limit last year.

Are you sure? Did you see it?
she is a cheater like her country woman Maria Sharapova.
I hurt my ankle trying to run a 1.57.
God give up about Semenya. She couldn't have won easily, her best time ever is more or less identical to the best time of Mariya Savinova, the Russian is just more tactically astute. Being a winner isn't all talent, it's tactical nouse, Savinova has that in bucket-loads, just look at some of her other races, she is just brilliant.
Brilliant because she is a drug cheat
They are running 50x faster for 800m than I can ever run for 20m
That means you would run the 20m in 2:30.23 or slower. I did the math.
2019？
Great finish by Semenya
He is a guy
Ara Arutyan no she is not
Physically, they are male 🤷
Did the OC really take Savinova's gold medal and give it to Semenya? Stranger than fiction.
So according to everyone in comments it should really be.

Isn’t the 800 2 laps and the 1600 4 laps
Maybe she could, but she did mistake, waited too long to pull her maximum. A typical tactical mistake for 800 m, maybe the hardest running distance. To become an olympic champion you must work hard both your legs and your brains. Savinova made just that. Fair win, hands down.
Don't fit, she failed the drug test which means she didn't win...... She was disqualified
a savinova tem um estilo lindo de correr, ela corre com muita ousadia, força e uma resistencia incrivel,q so ela tem, ela tem muita presença, suas passadas são elegantes e ela e maravilhosa, ela rouba a cena com seu belo porte fisico,ela arrasa savinovaaaa....
Maria savinova doping queen
