best athlete or best (adjective) athlete???

[zodiac666]

just using the tour de france as an example but this question goes for any sport.

would you rather be best athlete and be disqualified for failing a drug test or be the 2nd best athlete and be declared the winner?

it would make me feel better to be the best athlete.

interesting question, if i dont get caught best athlete but if i do get busted, i would want to be 2nd best athelte LOL..

How do you know the 2nd best athlete isn't on anything either. Seems like they NEVER care about anybody but the winner when it comes to testing.

not really man, in olympics many times weight lifters that have came 2nd third or even 4th have been busted..

id rather be the best... only if i got caught after the peak of my career and i had already got all the records.

there are so many guy's that have never been busted using "performance enhancing drugs" imo. i was huge fans of both micheal jordan and nolan ryan growing up but it seems unreal the level they competed at such an old age for athletes it just makes me wonder. when i think of bonds,mcgwire,sosa ect. ect. and see the numbers they put up i wonder what guys like babe ruth and mickey mantle would have done if they juiced.

mickey and the babe juiced. only they thought beer and whiskey was best not test.
