Seriously, Who Are The Clean WR In Their Perspective Events?

Who knows

Are You By Chance Also The Person Who Started The Thread

'Anyone Else About Done with This Sport?'

TUEs. Conveniently timed sicknesses requiring predinsone, ADD meds, albuterol inhalers, thyroid meds. It’s all legal, but questionable.

In the sprinting events maybe only Aries Merritt's 12.80 110h is defensible.

clean:
Sammy Wanjiru

Kenenisa Bekele

Haile Gebrselassie

Galen Rupp

dirty:

Rashid Ramzi

Mo Katir

Jerry Schumacher

Toshikazu Yamanishi, Massimo Stano, and Yohann Diniz

The clean track and field world records are all listed on track and field news in the lists section. Anyone with their name on this list has not been popped for drug use, which means that they are clean. Happy to clear this up!

Aouita first African runner to win 2 times Athlete of the year.
Not only that ... he didn't need USA or England. (*)

He made the history.

(*) So take your NCAA to the recycle binary.

I enjoy watching athletics competition, including foot races. It doesn’t matter to me that they take chemicals to make themselves faster. That shouldn’t take away my enjoyment of watching a good foot race. It would be better if there was no WADA or any anti doping agencies and they just allowed the athletes to compete in a doped level playing field.

The whole area of sport is tainted by the (not-so) few cheats. No way back. The rotten apples will prevail. It’s like public accusation of wrongdoing: once the box is opened there’s no closing it and making it go away. Corruption and cheating are part of the human condition. It’s what makes us the superior animal. Right?

I don't get the point of threads like this. Are you expecting a definitive answer?

i disagree. the morals/ethics, how it feels emotionally to know you're cheating, is not a trivial thing. i'd be shocked if EVERY elite compromises their morals/ethics. i'm sure lots microdose in order to boost competitiveness but all of them? i don't think so.

People who cheat convince themselves that everyone is cheating and the playing field is level. That was the argument Charlie Francis used on his athletes. People who live in a place that is rife with corruption in everyday life are going to buy into this line of thinking more easily because they see people paying off police and other officials on a regular basis, so circumventing rules becomes the norm.

Crowder and Sydney are the only hope but it’s a slim one lol.

Worry about growing the sport in the U.S , not drugs!! Sheesh.

Walter George was a pharmacist by trade. So don't tell me any of his times were legit in the 1880s.

The guy lowered the mile WR from 4:20 something to 4:10 in a few years. So I guess the real record's 4:20 something.

If you've beat that, you're doping IMO

I don’t get why anyone would think Bolt is unimpeachably clean when he was dusting confirmed dopers while slowing down and/or celebrating in the final meters.
