Is there any athlete whose integrity is beyond doping?

[run4urlyfe]

Is there anyone who you would put your hand in the fire for??? 2013 has turned out to be " the year of the doper" as we have seen names turned up dirty that i would never even dream of in my wildest dreams. I was never one to believe that all the pros were in on the cat and mouse game and just one step ahead but it seems that this is being proven true. If VCB, Tyson Gay, Powell, Simpson can turn up dirty then I wouldn't put it past anyone at this point I do have two names in mind i think i would still put my hand in the fire for. If one of these two ever came up dirty my faith in athletic integrity would be damaged forever. So to my fellow posters do you wanna drop any names who you would put your hand in the fire for?

This thread needs to be closed immediately. By signalling who you WILL "put your hand in the fire for" it will be telling who you wouldn't. As far as I'm concerned that's an implication and beyond the rules of the board. Thread needs to be locked.

I'm getting in before it's locked... Unfortunately I don't know names, but here are some photos of athletes I'll currently put my hand in the fire for.

Seems pretty obvious to me that the girl receiving the baton is a serious doper.

Are you kidding me? Who in their right mind would trust a pony tail? And, the red socks are clearly performance enhancing! :twisted: :mrgreen:

No one need not mention who they wouldn't put their hand in the fire for. Just because you wouldn't put your hand in the fire for someone doesn't mean you think they are not clean it just means you wouldn't risk life and limb for them. I am just curious if there are any athletes that any posters still would defend till the end. For all you know some people would say none it doesn't mean everyone is dirty it just means they wouldn't risk the heat of a flame for them. Get it? Good.

40-odd years ago I decided it was easiest just to take the stance that everbody is using; that way you never have to face crushing disappointment when it turns out to be true. (but no, of course, I don't really believe everybody is)

Yup.

If you want a guarantee of absolute purity, stick to junior high level sports.

is this merely a philosophical exercise ? can anyone trust people that they don't really know ?
sometimes you get even burned by people you know well.

That Corey kid eventually testified against his Dad, who pled guilty and was sentenced to like 5 or 6 years in jail and if I remember correctly, he's a free man now.
