I would say Phelps but he sets a shite example with him taking drugs and all that. Nobody else to me has outshone others by that great a margin.

It wouldn't have been a big deal if he was a nobody. Trust me, more idols smoke pot than just him.

 

My personal favorite - Eddie Belfour. One of the reasons I played Hockey and was a goalie.

O yes, i have no doubts lots take illegal drugs and stuff. But, it certainly doesn't make it right. He is suppose to lead by example and not undergo illegal drugs.

Never would someone who took drugs could ever be the greatest athlete in my eyes. Its more than just the sport its about his image. His has most certainly being damaged.
