They were selling these off for 2 quid back in '99, how quickly the mighty fall eh? This ones a bit unusual as it was already autographed by Smith. The other copies had no such markings.
I guess we will never know for sure if she was doped up or not, and even if she could be proven innocent would we believe it now? The only thing I can offer in defense is that Garry O'Toole, special guest on RTE's coverage of the '96 olympics, predicted every single one of Smiths races correctly, including her bronze medal. Either he was in on it with her, or her ability really did naturally progress to a stage where winning at the Olympics was to be expected.
Whether Smith cheated or not, Janet Evans was just a sore fucking looser!
