Michael SteeleCongrats to Michael Phelps. Regardless of what era were discussing, he is at the top of the list of discussion.
One comment on Lasse in '76. IMO, if "Pre" had been around for the '76 event (RIP, deceased 5/75), I feel Lasse would have only won one gold in 76. With that said, it was quite the feat to finish 5th in the '76 Marathon. However, Lasse Viren has been up for discussion for using enhanced performance drugs before they were tested. I don't think it was ever proved but it certainly has been debated.
