Is there any clean athlete? Please name one

I'll give you a reason to believe they are clean.

The reason: They are American.

As long as you're competing for America, they can never be any suspicion of doping, even if the athlete gets gold, a medal, or comes very close to the top 5 in the world, foreign athletes that letsrun believe are as dirty as politics.

There you have it. All American track and field athletes are CLEAN!!!

Caster

They are all "dirty". So please quit watching and find some other conspiracy to expose.

Tiana Bartoletta

Bolt no chance beyond the obvious. Look at him in late 2006 on youtube he lost to Gay, he was crushed then less than 2 years later BOOM 19.3 and all the weight gain. Again on youtube he gained like 40lbs in 6 months. They show him in Jan. skinny! Then winning the gold in London. But that's easy.

Unreal progression is the easiest way to tell. But they have ways of dodging that...aka MJ, Carl all took a year off then drop the time. Still MJ went from a 21. in high school to 19. (i think) in his soph. year.

anyone 10.1 or better consistent dirty; There should be a steady improvement from the beginning of the year etc.

Many guys grow and have significant physical maturation from ages 19 --> 22. Look at Bolt at 19 (in 2006) or WVN 3 years ago--they look like kids, and they still ran 20 flat and 45 flat respectively. Not saying "fast as a kid = no doping as adult" (the Marion Jones fallacy) but just trying to illustrate that these guys were fast long before they were at their full adult sizes.

As a result of the physical growth many guys go through at that age, improvement from late teens --> early 20s is generally exponential, not linear.

Training is also done in cycles. It's not uncommon for sprinters to have big breakthroughs in championship races following periods of good training; they have competition pushing them and they're perfectly peaked. In the sprints, steady improvement from start to finish is less common than fairly consistent times followed by breakthroughs, and it's due to training periodization and timing of peaks.

Lagat, I can't imagine him doping.

His existence as a female runner is dirty in itself.

The divers are really clean because they've been in and out of the shower so much.

WHAT! You are weird. Who says what you just said? Why do you try and pick a fight or put someone else down? GROW UP. Or you cannot read very well. First of all I ran 4;18, I could care less if someone could run faster. I was horrible at the mile.

Iam assuming I can beat you at anything in life so you need to put me down to build yourself up.

I believe Rudisha is clean.

What's the argument for Rudisha doping?

He runs 140.x. If you look at the earlier post. My thesis is all medalist are dirty. They are too fast ALL the time. They have a FEW "slow" races. 144. WHere is he from again? I don't even need to form a real argument. I think anybody that is following running thinks he is using.

Thats fine. But I can't imagine him clean. I am totally serious. Why? because he is soft spoken and appears to be a nice guy?? Have you ever spent a few days with him? Or just what you see onTV and hear from others.

I understand the "all medalists are dirty" argument. I've been tempted to adopt it myself. But I believe "most but not all medalists are dirty" is better and more accurate belief. Of course, it's impossible that we'll ever know for certain either way.

But I see no good reason to believe Rudisha dopes. I've watched many of his interviews. I just don't read it in him. I've watched interviews with Gatlin, Gay, Merritt, etc., even before they got busted, and it's easy to read it.

By the way, I've followed track since '86. I remember following the Lewis/Johnson rivalry before Big Ben's '88 bust.

I saw this horse that can jump over a wall and also walk sideways. I know it's clean because horses are not allowed in a pharmacy and don't know how to order meds online.

Caster Semenya is clean. No need to dope when you are man competing against women.

I would put a lot of money on Nick Willis being clean

For now, I am just happy for Rupp (and Kipchoge). Don't want to think about who took what and when and how much etc.
