4. Yeah, he is
But that doesn't exactly preclude someone from being an asshole. (I don't know if he's an asshole or not though, since I don't know much about the guy to begin with.)

2. OMG - without reading all of your answers, the first one that

7. Steroid Users
Their "records" mean nothing. They've prostituted themselves. They've made it harder on legitimate athletes.
