I agree with others that Rudisha strikes me as potentially clean. His mechanics are just so good, and PEDs don't help that.
For some reason his outlier status makes me think he is clean, and I would usually consider an outlier to be a red flag.
He just looks so smooth running 48 pace, incredible.
Doesn't Kiprop also look very smooth?

Oh yea, I forgot that Ferguson somehow managed to get off the hook.
Oh yeah, you also "forgot" that the coach, John Anzrah, was absolved by the IOC because the lie you keep on spreading is just that. A lie.
I don't know why you do this.

You act as if most runners are clean, and deduce from that wrong assumption that some world record holders may be clean too.
History tells us otherwise.

I think they all are suspect. To be honest I have no idea who the current mile, 5000m, 10,000m etc. record holder is as I have no confidence that they are clean.
How can you possibly be taken seriously when you don't know who the current record holder is? I learned those names in 7th grade.
Read the second sentence. It is a pity you didn't learn reading comprehension in the 7th grade.

Why get all excited about an individual only to have your bubble burst if they test positive? I would say that if you took the top ten list for each distance then it is likely that at least one of the athletes in the top ten is clean but I have no idea which one. And it is pointless to try to speculate.
I also believe that the percentage of dopers is higher in countries that have less effective testing than in the West. But also that the West has more sophisticated ways of cheating, micro dosing TUE abuse etc. Hence my tendency to take issue with people who claim they are all dirty but we are all clean. It's across the board, just easier in some places than others.
I lost my innocence during the time before and after the LA Olympics. At that point I realized that cheating was rampant in the sport and not just the Soviet Block. At the time I actively followed the achievements of Coe, Ovett, Cram, Foster, Bedford, Moorecroft etc. but I came to realize that if I believed everyone of them was clean I was deluding myself.
