SUMMER GAMES SPOTLIGHT : BARCELONA ’92 OLYMPICS / DAY 15 : TORRENCE WILL CONTINUE TO SPEAK HER MIND

Gwen Torrence finished fourth in the 100 meters and afterward said that three women in the race were “dirty,” using performance-enhancing drugs, including two of the three who beat her. Those words took the joy out of her 200-meter gold and her brilliant relay finish on Saturday.

But would she do anything different?

“The only thing I would change is that I wouldn’t name the number of people,” Torrence said. “But I will always have an opinion. I look up to Charles Barkley, because he’s a big man who does whatever he wants and gets away with it because he’s a professional athlete. I’m just a black woman.”
