I would be devastated if _________ tested positive

Ben True

Female Ben True

Male: me - I don't use so it would mean my massage therapist must have turned against me and rubbed a banned cream into my quads or wherever. So, right there I would lose my reputation and my massage therapist in one fell swoop. I can't imagine how devasting such a double whammy would be.

Female: My gf. Because if your significant other tests positive, you will always be under a cloud of suspicion yourself. And it's like, well, do you break up with someone because they used PEDs? What if you otherwise liked them a lot? But, then again, if she lies/cheats about PEDs, then what else might she be up to? So, pretty much your reputation is ruined and you lose your girlfriend, another double whammy. This would be almost as bad as the situation with the massage therapist. I think it is generally easier to find an adequate gf than a likewise massage therapist. Would be great if I could find a massage therapist to date, but then if I tested positive based on a cream she rubbed in because she was mad at me, it would basically be armageddon for my life. So, I probably won't look to date a massage therapist but wouldn't turn something like that down if it came my way. I'd just need to be super careful that I didn't piss her off.

So, yeah, it would be bad if Webb or Mary Cain got busted, but not nearly as devesating to my life as either of the above scenarios.

Male: Meb

Female: Mary Cain

I see so many dopers listed in this thread I have to remind myself that it is a list of runners that people think DON'T dope, lol

I was thinking along these same lines, not with the massage therapist subplot, but yeah, I would be most devastated if I, myself, tested positive and second to that, if my wife did. I don't use PEDs so I would deny it and be just like every actual user who is busted and makes up some lame excuse. So everyone would think I was not only a cheater, but a liar as well when in reality, I was neither. That would suck a lot more to me than Meb getting busted though I understand the ramifications of me a lowly DIII distance man getting "busted" would be near nil for the larger society whereas Meb going down would be a huge hit for the sport of running as a whole, particularly in the United States.

I would be devastated if ____kip Litton____ tested positive

ben true, chris derrick, mary cain, jenny simpson

I would absolutely quit watching track and field if any of them turned out to be dopers.

any NOP athletes never

Flanagan for sure. Huddle and Simpson are probably 2 and 3 for me.

Also add Flanagan to that list

Rupp has really been the only American born runner to be able to mix it up w/ the Africans in the 5k and 10k and put out some really fast times (3:50i, 7:30i, 12:58, 26:44) so if he ended up getting caught, that would be very dissapointing

If Cain got caught that's just plain WRONG, why would Salazar dope an 18 year old?

I'm a huge NOP fan which is probably why 3 Salazar athletes are on here, but I have to think, if one got caught, it would say a lot about the other 2, and if Farah got caught, OH Gosh, that would be more world wide media drama than anything

Lagat is would be disappointing cause he's seen as a role model and inspiration to a lot of people, just like Simpson on the women's side

If Coburn got caught, that's just plain sad, but Wetmore doesn't seem like the type to dope his athletes, despite her and Jenny's very rapid improvements this past summer

Lagat mainly (Don't Blast me from the Past), but for the sake of recent events, Meb.

ummmmmmmmm ever heard of Jordan Hasay?
