Who is the best 1500m runner/miler that you are confident isn't/wasn't doping?

Cram

Webb's success at a young, presumably clean, age, combined with his total inconsistency, makes me think he was clean or less dirty.

I also just like him so there is that bias.

Centro

Landy

Centro and Mahkloufi

Steve Scott?

Coe.

I think Coe and Cram were the last 2 great milers who were very probably clean. And of the 2, Coe's overall record at the distance is better.

That generation, Scott, Coghlan, Wessinghage, Ovett, Boit, Gonzales, I think are the last where they werent doping.

Then along came Aouita, Morceli, Cacho, and I think the rest realised they couldn't compete unless they followed suit.

we've settled on Nick Willis for a few reasons;

his 3:29 PR

2 olympic medals and other world stage podium finishes

the length of his career

and the fact that he couldn't keep his masterbation habits a secret so there's no way he could keep quiet if he was doping.

Last reason is the only one needed for your case

Jeez-uzs, Jim Ryun.

Kiprop. He's just that talented. He was already one of the top junior runners. Just like why I don't think Bolt is a doper. Anyone who's already the best from a young age has no reason to dope. It's just a natural growth curve for them.

Thank you for including someone of color. It's funny how in a thread about people who didn't dope they only include white people.

Filbert Bayi

Herb Elliott

Coe?!?! Cmon, man...you REALLY think he got toxoplasmosis from his per cat? That was probably a dirty blood transfusion. Last squeaky clean wr holder was Bayi. Fastest clean ever is Willis.

Centro is NOP, they aren't clean.

Makhloufi was about to fail a test in London that is why he threw the 800m.

Walker? Cram? Falcon? I think there were faster milers than Willis.

And how many of them broke 3:30 in the 1500m?

The correct answer is Lagat.

Walker/Coe/Ovett/Cram/Elliot/Kiprop/Ngeny/Snell/Ryun/Keino clean for me

ElG/Morceli dodgy AF

Aouita cheat
