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.

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

Olympic sports today are full of PEDs, I assume all are using some banned

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.

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

Both he and Phelps are uncontested for sure.

Phelps is incredible

Except the whole marijuana thing.

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

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

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

No its pretty dang close with Gretzky.

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

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

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

Because nobody cares about it 🤫

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

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

What other baseball players challenge him?

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

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

Yep more assists than the number two has points.

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

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

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