Top 3 Events Likely To Be Clean

High Jump, much for the same reason you chose Pole Vault, except I think the HJ relies even less on strength and more on technique and absurd natural talent.

I would nominate racewalking (technique and less competitive), and maybe the javelin, which is also a highly technical event.

I could see Pole Vaulters using steroids/HGH or whatever is currently being used to build their explosiveness and upper body strength.

I disagree on both the 800 and 110h.

Race walkers have been proven dirty repeatedly.

1. Pie eating

2. Leisurely walking

3. Hobby jogging

Javier Sotomayer - nandrolone (anabolic steroid)

(and earlier: cocaine)

I'd say the top 3 events most likely to be clean are:

100M

1500M

200M

Top six in the London 20km walk for women were Russian and Chinese. Plus the men's 50km Olympic record holder from 2008 was later banned for doping.

The bronze medallist from Athens was also banned and the world record holder, Denis Nizhegorodov has had two of his training partners test positive.

It could even be one of the worst sports for doping.

If there is any event left that is least impacted by drugs I would say the techique events.

High Jump

Triple Jump

Pole Vault.

none of the above anyhow

pole vault, long jumps, sprints and race walking are all dirty

you don know much about track if you think 400 is clean

it's one of the worst for peds

I would write that High Jump, 110H, & the 800M are three events in which the top guys are clean or most likely have the potential to be the "cleanest" events in track.

curling

badminton

shooting

Indoor marathon. No cheaters would put themselves through something like this.

I believe its the 10k. how else could have Mo and gelen been able to win. Clean is the only way.

table tennis

fencing

shotting

Bowling, Archery, and Sailing. I'm not sure what sort of PEDs one could take to enhance one's *sailing* performance. Addies?

And it sure is easier to get the 45s quarter guy sub 1:44 if you pump him full of EPO. Don't have to worry about him breaking down from doing all that base mileage.You are deluded if you think any event in T&F is clean.....

800M: It is possible to find a 45-46 quarter guy and give him a few years of distance work and have a sucessful half guy.

110M: None of these guys would be a threat to Bolt or any of the Jamaicans. A lot of technique involved.

Pole Vault: Technique

Top 3 clean events:

- Archery

- Ice dancing

- Poker

Dish washing

Shoe shining

Laundry
