I wasn't even thinking about swimmers, but yeah, news like that would rock me in the worst way.

Am I just out of the loop or is doping not so prevalent in aquatics? Never seem to hear about anyone getting busted.

A Renato-coached runner or Shalane.

Yes, you are out of the loop.Michelle Smith: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michelle_SmithEast German swimmers: http://therugbycity.files.wordpress.com/2012/09/1976-east-german-swim-team.png

Pick one male and one female. It's okay if they're retired. For me:

I'd be somewhat devastated if my boyfriend "bubba" tested positive for the HIV.

I would still let him raw dog me in the bootie though.

MIchelle Smith is a barrister now?!?

Do they have no standards over there???

If it ever was revealed that Bill Rodgers or Frank Shorter doped, that would be it for me and this sport.

I don't know why, exactly, but if it turned out that Ryan Hall was a doper I'd find it pretty devastating. I say that, even though, now, the likelihood of it seems to me to be very high.

A lot of sad ones on this thread, and it's hard to tell yourself that most of these people are clean frankly but characters like Meb, Rudisha, Lagat, True as well as several others would really just make the whole sport sad. Genuinely nice, hard-working guys that would really ruin the sport if they turned out to be doping. And the saddest part is that they probably are, but people really want to believe that they're legit.

Anyways to answer the question, I'm surprised nobody has said Jager.

Truly the most exciting person to be watching right now. Rupp is obviously talented, but Jager holds so much promise and the capability to break up the Kenyan podium sweeps in the steeple. And he's only getting better at every distance. Super nice guy though too, would really bum me out to hear about him if it ever came out.

Yes, the east germans and the chinese. if our white american athletes aren't dominating, its because the other guys are doping.

Of course I know it *has* happened. Michelle Smith is not a name I'm familiar with but I've heard about the East German swimmers and I think the Chinese were getting souped up back in the day as well. Thing is, all those examples are from decades ago. Admittedly I don't follow swimming half as closely as I do track, but still, doping scandals tend to make headlines and I just don't recall seeing any swimmers getting popped in recent years.

Ed Whitlock, Sasha Grey

If Sasha Grey tested positive I would never watch athletics again. Her steeplechase technique is unreal, so inspiring, and when she won the Olympics it was just so amazing. Go Grey Go Grey!

M: Meb and Rudisha, CU Men's team

F: Emma Coburn or Alptekin and Bulut.

If those two gals tested positive it would ruin my quest to discover the Turks secret training techniques that works really well. I am currently working on a book- Running with the Turkish Women.

I would be devastated if I tested positive for genital herpes

Rita Jeptoo

Footlocker finalists.

Other than HS, no one would devastate me.
