If they turned Bolt positive, that would be the final end of track and field. It would be seen like WWE or the Russians everywhere, and that's why they have to protect him.
I don't understand this line of reasoning. I would enjoy a cleaned up sport more and find it more interesting.
Same story with farah. Some Brit would probably snuff him out or something were he to come up positive. It was bad enough in London when the articles showed him training with Driouch, then his pathetic denial of who he was. Fleeing the country after the Salazar debacle was probably the smartest thing he's done.

Farah, without question.
And my reason why is because he's one of the most obvious cheats to get away with it (so far) in the history of track and field.
He got knocked out in the heats in 2008 so I doubt it whatever he is doing now
I predcit no really big names like Bolt or Bekele
Five weightlifters, 5 swimmers, 3 soccer players, 3 wrestlers, 1 field hockey player, 4 boxers, 3 gymnasts, 3 basketball players, 2 team handball stars, one of the horses from equestrian jumping, and Usain Bolt.
Bad Wiggins, is that the list of who you would prefer to get busted ? Also, gymnasts almost never fail doping tests/ one of the few was Putin's girlfriend who tested positive for a diuretic/masking agent.
Good list. You could add medalists like Nick Willis, Kipchoge, and Tadesse.I predict nothing will come of this. It is another PR move.

Most major stars 2008 are still competing - Bolt, L Merritt,Kiprop, Bekele, Fraser-Pryce, Richards-Ross ,Felix, VCB, Pearson, Harper-Nelson, Okagbare, Mekhissi-B, Malachowski, Majewski, Kerron C, Bershawn J, T Dibaba, Defar, Isinbayeva, Suhr, Okagbare, Valerie A, Britney Reese, Wenxiu Zhang...
id love to see usain bolt get caught,along with many other jamaicans,and ethiopians,but it probably wont happen.mo farah is another one,and also those male 800 metre runners who ran those ridiculous times.realistically though,id settle for makhloufi,the algerian 1500 metre champion.his being caught is a real possibility.
If there are track athletes, it will likely include women from the 1500m final. If the 2012 women's final was completely dirty, the 2008 one had to have been as well, so it's a safe bet to re-test those samples if you want to look like you're catching people.
Who I'd like to see busted: As many as possible. Preference would be the big names. I don't think any of them are clean. I'd be really satisfied to see an entire 100m final busted for once, for example.
Bekele for sure. He was going to get busted after the 09 season but worked out a "deal" with the IAAF. That's what that whole calf injury was all about in 2010. He basically didn't compete from after the WC in 09 to just before the WC in 11.
He ran poorly in 08. For him to get bested and having the showing he did in 08 would be embarrassing.

Never happened. Bekele may or may not be using but there's been no deal for him.

Alberto Salazar was not the coach of Mo Farah in 2008 but he was the coach of Mo Farah in 2012. That was the same year Mo developed a hearing problem so severe he could not hear his doorbell ring when the doping control person was ringing his doorbell for an hour... to do a doping test on Mobot.
Samples from the London 2012 Olympics where Mobot won 2 gold medals will also be retested.
Did you miss that part Mr. Smarty Pants?
I would not say that Mo is an "obvious" doper.
His times have been very good, but not record breaking.
You can find runners from previous games that may have beaten him.
You can find other runners that were setting records and are obviously doped - Kenny B
OK. Nothing can be proven. I will now take your side and give some points in favor of Mo Farah and Galen Rupp:
1) Mo Farah had already run 12:57 for 5k (If I remember right?) before joining Alberto Salazar and only improved his PR to 12:53 in terms of time for 5K, which is not that much improvement in 5k PR…although his finishing speed improved in a very big way with Salazar.
2) I also agree that both Mo Farah and Galen Rupp have PR times at 5k and 10k that could be run by clean runners.
3) I saw some blood test results for Mo Farah once (Sunday Times?) and they looked absolutely normal.
4) Galen Rupp is tested all the time…probably more than any other runner from the United States... and about every 2 weeks on average. Galen Rupp has never tested positive in any doping test in his entire career.
However...There are still 2 major problems:
1) Alberto Salazar. I do not like him.
2) The MoBot gesture. I do not like it.
OK?

Hate to burst your bubble on #4, but Lance Armstrong (who is good buddies with Alberto Salazar) "passed" all of his hundreds of drug tests...
Anybody but Rudisha
True. And El G, and Makhloufi, and many others. I just said I would raise some points for the other side. I did not say I was on that other side.
Dr. Martial "Plan B" Saugy gave Lance some help with his EPO test results.
He helps many people with their test results.

LOL ... every drug addict knows how much time away they need to get a normal test.
