Who is the best sportsperson of all time?

[Dinny Breen]

Dinny,  you don't really believe carl lewis was a drug cheat,  just another conspiracy me thinks!

It's not conspiracy unfortunately as he tested positive 3 times before the 1988 Olympics, he was cleared because he said they were part of a herbal remedy for a cold. It was all covered up by the US Olympic Committee. It didn't come to light till 2003. That over the counter mistake might be true but 2 of his team mates tested for the exact same drugs!!!!!

Cricket (Bat) - Lara
Cricket (Ball) - Glenn Mc Grath

There was no better sight than watch Lara bat.  Even when he got out he still looked class.  Though Sachin runs him a close second IMO.

Mcgrath was lethal but I'd go for Shane Warne.  He revived the lost art of Leg Spin and completely changed the profile of cricket.

[the colonel]

did anyone ever find him guilty of doping after how many tests?

[Minder]

Naive Colonel.....

[Dinny Breen]

Naive Colonel

Actually Minder I'd say you are more naive than cynical. Never tested once yet he was probably the most tested athlete ever. Have you any facts, not conjecture, just simple facts to prove he was guilty?

[corn02]

Tiger, there shouldn't even be an argument.

To Tyrone people actually think Canavan was the best footballer of all time, personally I would have Fitzgerald before him.

[Tony Baloney]

Jordan then Tiger. As Minder knows a great man once said "What's hard about playing golf? Sure nobody is tackling you!"
