Is there any clean athlete? Please name one

Michael Johnson ran his first sub 20 after his senior season at Baylor but he was north of 21.00 in high school for sure.

I'm not going to pick anyone has certainly clean. The guy who came in DFL in the 400m seems most likely to be clean in the sprints.

As far as distance races I'd basically be guessing but there are a handful of finalists who are clean.

With the women do you think the problem isn't as bad, about the same or worse?

Iguider in the 1500

You're just winging it and making wild guesses, so, gosh, thanks for starting this valuable informative thread

Oh no. I have been studying PED in sports since I left the Olympic Games in 2004. Everyone is kinda guessing because we can't have them take real test. The bio passport is starting to eliminate designer steroids and hormonal and cholesterol raising drug, but not amphetamine or CNS drugs.

I guess you don't have any athletes to submit?

I have not followed the women as close, but the sprints for me are easy, the 800 and 1500 are difficult to for me to get 100% confident like the sprints. But their consistent performances and the fact that the Africas are taking and they everybody is still hanging around makes it easier.

It is as bad for the females, especially the sprints. I do think you can run a great time, but once you run that time, you gotta choose. And its getting easier to find PEDs. Just look for Peptides online. Now they are not the best, but you will see improvement and then its only a matter of time. Even if you have another option, Med school etc. I think the smart ones are better at finding a way around the rules.

I know what it takes to improve in the sprints and up to the 800 and I have followed and knew alot of the past Olympians, so I could see their bodies change and see their workouts at times. I saw some unreal workouts at UCLA.

Yes, Castor Semenya is clean, if one already have 3 to 5 times the testosterone of your closest competitors, doping to get to 7X would be overkill

I actually think that Chelimo and Mead are clean, but I'm a gullible MFer.

this just may be the most bizarre thread on LRC. I have no idea what you're talking about.

I know he/she may actually be clean. I cannot judge that runner. I would lean towards clean because there is no need to dope. They are getting the results by training. She is a fast 15 year old boy.

I believe Jared Ward is clean. So there you have it - a 2:12 American marathoner is clean.

Also, I believe Bob Kempainen was clean. His Boston performance was wind aided, but I would bet my life he was clean.

You bet he is clean as whistle wrote:

Come on 3;28 and look at his progression before 2004 when he did 3;24.

I want to think there is one decently fast person running. So do you have a theory on how someone can run 3;28 clean. He does have consistent non sub 330 and a 147 so maybe. Need to look in detail at his prior 2004 and other years. How did he open each season etc.

I do not know the Marathon as well. but the fact that you bet your life, is not a good sign. Why would you bet your life on someone else being clean is a totally dirty sport?

Jared is absolutely clean as he is not an elite runner in the world. Same for Bob. And their times are stellar but not 9.58 type not even sub 210, so they are clean.

Justin Gatlin is clean.

Nick Willis is clean.
