John' s CLEAN WORLD RECORD LIST

 

Back to Contents

 

 The following is an arbitrary and entirely arguable list of the "real" world records...those not tainted by drugs. Rather than accuse all those from various countries over the years who I believe have used drugs, I have chosen to list those who I believe deserve the credit for the real world records. Many may argue with my selections. So be it. One thing for sure....the list that FINA is publishing is heavily tainted with drug using, but so far uncaught, athletes who do not deserve the attention.
