The clean 1500m World Record is...

Who knows. All i can say is that you would be pretty damn good to be on the list and have never taken PEDs.

El Guerrouj never tested positive :)

I don't know and honestly don't really care. I personally wouldn't bet on any sub-3:30 guy being clean, even though it might be possible to run that fast without drugs.

I'm a huge cynic when it comes to PED use but still love the sport and enjoy watching the top athletes.

There are a lot of suspicions and accusations around this theme in this site.

We say:

"Someone is innocent until and opposite proof is provided"

Even Marita Koch was heartily defending her case

And Aouita was a real freak contrary to what a lot of people want to spread in these forums. His 2 important middle distances times lasted 7 years each. Not easy to do.

me too. Regardless of whether they cheat or not, they are great athletes. I just don't get surprised when anyone is caught or exposed.

Also, I don't mean to offend anyone. I love the sport and enjoy watching it. I think there are a few guys on this list who might be clean and some who are for sure doped (and have been caught). I just was curious what other people thought.

p.s. To those of you who down-vote a question (2 people already have), can you explain why? I am literally just curious what others think; I am not casting aspersions at any particular athlete or athletes.

Eliminate any time before good EPO testing, any athlete who had a runner in the same camp that tested positive, any athlete with a agent that has consistently had athletes under them who tested positive. And anytime during the 80s where test and blood transfusions where used like no tomorrow.

That is why I get sick of those who ran in 1980s raving on about drug cheats today. Hardly any testing of testosterone before 1984.

One particularly ....ed me off with his lampooning of Gatlin as a cheat and Bolt as the good guy.

Wise up BBC journos, Bolt versus Gatlin is not a case of ‘good versus evil

Chris Lewis

According to some BBC commentators, the recent sprint clash between Usain Bolt and Justin Gatlin at the 2015 World Athletics Championships was a case…

asbel kiprop because he has a beautiful stride and a great racing mentality!

You are really trying to grind Jason Halpin’s gears, aren’t you?

Noah Ngeny is the first guy I go better than 50-50 clean. Kiplagat I have at pretty much 50-50. First four are around 20-80 or worse for me.

It's a fact that he hasn't tested positive and all his blood samples have gone past the statute of limitations so he can't be found guilty :)

Hicham El Guerrouj is the all time best for the 1500m and the mile.

I am personally not brainwashed to think that petrochemical toxic drugs would ever help anyone to run any faster.

Anyone on those same drugs prescribed by doctors and/or in hospitals usually ends up with a premature death.

My Dad paid $1300 a week for an EPO shot two decades ago that didn't help him in the least.

I told him to drink green drinks and improve his diet but he wouldn't do that. He stuck with the drugs and he died from them.

I was in the stands for this in Rome and was shocked to see how empty it was.

that would be an amazing experience.

I was in stands when michael johnson won second OG gold 400m

Probably 3:34.60.
