Elite Athletes you're CONVINCED are clean

Edward Zakayo, Edina Jebitok, Edwin Kipkemoi Seko, Caroline Jeptanui, and Joyline Cherotich!

Abebe Bikila = clean. (feet not included.)

The oldest 16-year-old in the world.

Friend of mine trains with them. They just learned what microdosing was (not claiming that they do it- just that they learned about the concept) a couple weeks ago. Apparently, they were incredibly surprised.

I didnt want this to get sidetracked with accusations me being biased and just glazing British athletes, also I'm not blind to the doping issues certain UKA doctors have had when they were involved with UK Cycling, nor the questionable connections of Barry Fudge and Neil Black (RIP).

That being said, I have no concerns with adding 4 of those names in. Kerr & Wightman have followed similiar trajectories from their time at Edinburgh AC together (Wightman hampered only in recent years by injuries), Heyward is not a big enough name for me to have thought of if he's doping and Gourley is a lovely lad but yet to really do anything on the international stage (appreciate he got Euro i1500 Silver in 2023).

I will admit Mills' progression from a somewhat-underwhelming domestic 800m athlete to beating Farah's 3000m Record, 3:47Miler & sub13 guy, may be viewed as suspicious by many

What?

Any athlete that has ‘lulls’ in their career, they have periods where they are doing well but then they have a not so great season and are not winning. Because that is normal physiology. To me that says that they are not doping.

lulls and periods...story of me life bro

You are right that he is a little more suspicious because of that, but he was a European junior champion then had the next 2 years wiped out through serious injuries. I mean, if somebody like Hoey is 30% likely to be doping, then Mills would be less than 5%.

Sorry to burst your bubble, but Bikila was a professional bodyguard to the emperor Haile Selassie. He was trained full-time (by a Swedish military advisor to the Ethiopians) to gain revenge for Selassie over the Italians at the 1960 Rome Olympics - Italy having conquered Selassie's country only 20 years previously.

It was a nice story, him being an innocent African villager who did not know what shoes were and who had only run to and from school, but not quite the truth. Seems a big stretch to me to believe that Selassie would not have had him doped to win.

Nadia Battocletti is 100% clean, I would bet money on it.

Tanaka Nozomi 🏃🏽‍♀️‍➡️

My Bikila bubble !!! noooooo ! ...it's okay. ...I have taken down my posters of him and burned my relics. ...he knew what shoes were...he didn't like the ones he was given for the first Olympic race. ...anyway, we'll take your word for it that he was doped by Selassie. ...as
Waldemar Cierpinski was by Dr. Manfred Höppner ...both double Olympic champions. ...at least the most recent double Olympic marathon champion is above suspicion.

So what drugs were distance runners using in 1960? You are aware that he is several minutes slower than the women now? Yet he was doping?

Literally any Japanese marathoner. Cheating would bring such shame upon one’s family in their culture that they would never risk it.

This is why they have so many 2:05-2:10 marathons but not the outlier 2:00-2:03 that african countries do, because they won’t go the extra mile in taking drugs.
