Edwin Moses unbeaten over 400 m hurdles for almost 10 years, broke the WR three times, two gold medals and one bronze at the Olympics would've been three but wasn't at Moscow

Universally accepted as "clean" but given the testing regimes of the 70s and 80s doubts would remain but unlike Lewis there are no pictures of him with braces....

Don't let this distract you from the fact that in 1966, Al Bundy scored four touchdowns in a single game while playing for the Polk High School Panthers in the 1966 city championship game versus Andrew Johnson High School, including the game-winning touchdown in the final seconds against his old nemesis, "Spare Tire" Dixon.

I watched a documentary about him. I took away from it that he was clean. He changed the way The 400m hurdles were ran. He was the first man to run it as a sprint. If it wasn’t for the Moscow Olympic sit out he’d have more gold medals

Relton Roberts by a mile

Anyone that eats Hungry Jacks in the changeroom right before a VFL game is a hero in my book

But 400 hurdles is a fallback event for those who aren't quite fast enough at the flat 400. It's a bit like saying Chris Gayle based on T20 prowess should be put on the same pedestal as Smith and Kohli. If you are putting Athletics into the Greatest frame then Michael Johnson is right up there. Smashed the 200 and 400 WR's by as much as Bolt smashed the 100 and 200 (which was Johnsons). 4 Olympic Gold and 8 WC Gold with a running style that defied convention.

I wish!

I just did a Google search for 'greatest athletes', and Al Bundy's name came up.

Mick Doohan. Won 5 GP titles in a row.
Back when 2 stroke 500's were in.
