Outside of these forums, no one cares about doping in the sport. Even if it’s Kipchoge, his performances and ambassadorship of athletics is still the same in my eyes.
No, dopers do not damage the sport. It is the self-inflicted wound that PUBLISHING testing results and retesting 10 years out from a competition that ridicules the sport. 1 year moratorium on retesting...PERIOD. Otherwise, medals and ceremonies are worthless and the public does not care at all. For every name that is published, one more nail in the marketing coffin to the general public. Most of you, however, are too stubbornly stupid to accept that fact.
The only person that I can think of, that would rise to the level of a Lance Armstrong as a Titan in their own sport, and in terms of international fame, is Tiger Woods. Golf does do some drug testing (VIjay Singh popped a few years ago for deer antler spray). Clearly, Woods is past his prime, but so was Armstrong when he got busted.
Woods was known to have seen the disgraced Dr. Anthony Galea, who was caught smuggling HGH across the US/Canada border, per ESPN. A bust wouldn't seem as a surprise and it would fit with the OPs description.

This thread is getting ridiculous. How can Tiger Woods be a Titan of the sport? The guy hasn’t broken 5 for the mile in years.
I'm horrified to realize it could also be 800+ GOAT Augustine Choge. A true titan of the sport. Only human to have ran
sub 1:45 sub 3:30 sub 7:30 sub 12:50 sub 60
"Have ran"?
The past participle of run is run, not ran
I can't believe people down-voted the guy who suggested we speak normal English. Are you trying to sound dumb? Most of you literally do this particular verb every day. Is it so hard to learn?
It is just like - EAT > ATE > HAVE EATEN. Nobody in the world says "have ate." Yet that is how you sound when you say "have ran." That is not one of the options. It is always RUN > RAN > HAVE RUN. There, now you know it for your whole life.
