I would bet money Nuguse is clean. My logic is he has the opposite of a “win at all costs” attitude. He is enormously talented and obviously wants to get as good as possible, but he spent much of college planning to go to dental school. If he hit a ceiling in running, he had Plan A all along. He just is too good to stop running. Now, not only would doping ruin his running career but would probably be a black mark on a dental school application which he otherwise will have no trouble getting into as a guy who graduated with honors in biochemistry from Notre Dame and is an Olympic medalist. very little incentive for him, bright future regardless of running and he just doesn’t seem to live and die with track like some of the other athletes.
I also found it interesting on the coffee club podcast when they were talking about about talent levels and described Nuguse as “A++” talent. obviously that entire team is elite company so I think that is saying something. For the record, also convinced Coffee club boys are clean.
Lots of other people I desperately want to be clean but just don’t know. I may never recover if I found out Radcliffe, Bekele, Haile G doped, but I don’t think they did.
