Expanding off the subject:

- Assume the public knows you received this power and HAS TO accept what you find out (and you are required to truthfully share it). Basically, these message boards can't be full of posts saying you're lying or "how can we trust the magic actually worked?"

- You would also learn how each instance of PEDs got in athlete X's body (for the cases like Shelby's, Gatlin, Ajee Wilson, etc.), and where they got it from. This could potentially expose a dirty coach / agent as well.

- You can pick an active or retired athlete.

- WA and any other organizations are still free to do whatever they want after learning this information. They will also treat it as fact.

Curious how many people here would use this power to go after something they think was doping vs. try to prove their favorite athlete was clean? Keep in mind, the answer you get might be the opposite of what you were hoping for!

Do they have to be a current athlete?

Kipchoge. If he's doping, pretty much all sub 2:04 marathoners are in my opinion.

Bolt - I really want to believe he's clean, but he's just such an outlier

Aouita. I had always thought he was clean until he pushed PEDs as a coach in Australia. He was my favourite athlete. Therefore, this behaviour made him the one i despise the most. I would love to be able to publish the goods on his PED use.

Honestly, I really could care less. Just run baby.

re: A genie

Trying to prove an “obvious” doped WR was through cheating seems a waste so I’d attempt to show at least one world record is clean to help public confidence. While I don’t expect any PEDs from him, I’d be too scared to pick Bolt in fear of bringing down the whole sport if I was wrong. I’ll settle with Rudisha’s 800.

re: A genie

This is how I do it, until an athlete is actually busted for PED;s they are straight, I won't be playing that did he did she, are they, the reason is that sucks.

And really not all that concerned about drugs in sports to begin with. All these athletes only have a few years before no PED could make a difference.

That's a good point I hadn't thought of. You would potentially find out WHEN someone had PEDs in them for the first time. Basically you could find out if someone had a clean vs. dirty part of their career (Decker-Slaney, Kiprop, etc.)

re: or Shelbo - j/k

Kenenisa Bekele. He almost never lost a race and sliced and diced WRs. He was in the post-EPO era (at least when testing caught up to use). So, the question then is whether he had some advance doping protocol that was ahead of the testing or was he really the GOAT.

Most likely it was both

I may go with the teenage 1500m prodigal one miss AW. I would guess 90%+ she's saucing due to her associations and lying about those associations though.

Geb. If he did I'd keep it to myself and remain devastated.
