Question for people wiser than I: What are the chances that Usain Bolt is doping

80% I’d say.

Nearly a 100% chance that Bolt was doping. He was an above average sprinter

The same thing is said about Phelps.

USMCdad

11/6/19 7:49pm

Phelps is much less likely because he was elite at 15 years old. Youngest ever

Do you think John Collins is the only NBAer on PEDs? Curious about your Olympic

I think most of the nba is on PEDs

Unfortunately after Lance Armstrong & baseball I just assume it's pretty rampant

Easily. He or Phelps.

garyfan

It’s easily Gretzky; he is universally revered and uncontested

Coop

11/6/19 6:13pm

Both he and Phelps are uncontested for sure.

AFCougK9

11/6/19 6:15pm

Phelps is incredible

Except the whole marijuana thing.

Hank Rearden

Meh, it's safer than alcohol

ReyOso

I think it's Gretzky but he's far from being "Universally" accepted as the GOAT

I have been playing hockey for over 30 years and I dont know a single person who legit thinks Mario was better

Did you read the article? It brings up some interesting points. I'll admit that

Dynasty1

Its been shared before. He was great and his health issues derailed a promising career.

JohnnyComeLately

I think a lot would say Orr. But I’d still agree, less controversial than others

Martin Van Nostrand

11/6/19 6:41pm

Team sports I'm going with the Babe. Individually probably Phelps but I'm not

Dynasty1

11/6/19 6:21pm

It’s Usain or Phelps and it’s not close

gurt

11/6/19 6:31pm

No its pretty dang close with Gretzky.

JohnnyComeLately

11/6/19 6:33pm

This is pure ignorance. The Great One did things never thought possible.

Hank Rearden

11/6/19 6:37pm

I dunno how to break it to you guys but..

gurt

11/6/19 6:40pm

Because it doesn't require athletic skill? Because there aren't teams involved? Because there isn't a league for it?

jdub

Because nobody cares about it 🤫

The world IS larger than our 50 states.

But track and field and swimming people care about?

Now this is a good point

Gretzky. And. It. Is. Not. Even. Close.

I'm not a baseball fan, but why not Babe Ruth?

That's what I went with. He was an elite pitcher for his era before becoming the

The way I frame these questions is relative to their contemporary competition.

JmThms

I put him as GOAT but it’s not unanimous.

JohnnyComeLately

11/6/19 7:56pm

What other baseball players challenge him?

JmThms

11/7/19 8:11am

According to the linked poll there were a handful who people could argue were better.

JohnnyComeLately

11/7/19 8:35am

There is a reason why fans and other athletes know his title as The Great One

USMCdad

Yep more assists than the number two has points.

Gretzky because Secretariat is a horse and Bruce Jenner is confused.

You're right, I'm sorry. The list of players that have played in 9 Superbowls

UberDeek

11/7/19 7:58am

Yes, because football is an individual sport, and the other 21 guys don’t matter

chilango

Yet, there's only two common denominators to all 9 teams... Head Coach and QB

Belichick clearly is, I don’t think anyone really debates that.

Seems weird to say that about one but not the other, as neither has accomplished
