Out of today's stars, some choices would include Kiprop, Rudisha, Bolt, Dibaba, Mo Farah. Please note that this is if one of them were banned for doping. For me, I'd be really devastated if Rudy turned out to be doping.

For me it would probably be Jager. Outside of Rudisha, I wouldn't be super surprised if anyone on your list got caught (especially Bolt), although I do think most are clean. Jager is just re-writing the US steeple record books and has a legit shot in an event we're usually weak at. I would definitely become more disillusioned if he was found to be doping.
Of today's athletes, Ben True, followed by Leo Manzano, Allyson Felix, and David Rudisha.
Historically, Joan Benoit Samuelson.
Alex Rodriguez
any of the top US runners who aren't Lagat/Rupp
Jager, Mead, Derrick, True, Blankenship, Andrews, Bumby, Symmonds, Solomon etc
JIm Thorpe.
Historically, Bjorn Daehlie.
True, Rudisha, Jager... three guys that deserve to be where they are.
Jenny Simpson.

If he were popped I would just concede that the needle is as much a part of the sport as spiked shoes.
No one. I assume all modern day professionals do what they can to get an edge.
I spent all of last week watching Lance Armstrong's greatest rides and you can't help but get inspired by them, regardless of what we know now. It's just awesome to watch that intensity.
Had a killer workout today and was just thinking of Dibaba and Farah racing hard the whole time.
Screw PEDS. I appreciate great performances.
Me, for sure. I don't even seem to be getting anything out of it.
Any Americans who are both doping and still not keeping pace, that would be very disappointing. If you are going to dope ... dope to win! ;-)

Steve Way, the people champion. If he was caught doping I would be devastated.
Haile G. Didn't even have to think about it.
We're almost the same age so I felt like I grew up with him. I admire everything about the way he's run, especially his longevity and his passion to help others. I would just be disappointed.
B Legat as well. Sadly, though I don't think I'd be surprised.
Sorry I answered about the past more about now.

A 39-YO setting PRs in the marathon. My radar is already up.

Anyone who thinks those athletes are clean lives in a fantasy world.
In all seriousness, I would be most disappointed to see Makh-Daddy or Gatlin busted. They are two of the most entertaining runners in the scene today.
Those I would LOVE to see busted and hope get busted sooner rather than later: Bolt, Dibaba, Centro, Radcliffe.

Red Bull (who sponsors Mondo) calls Mondo the pole vaulting Usain Bolt. Is that a fair comparison?
