Because of his dominance, the victory came as a surprise to absolutely no one. But that was the only thing about the race that was unsurprising. Japan's relay team shocked...

Drug use in sport is always a controversial subject, with supposed legends of a sport can go from being idolized to villanised with just one positive test. Drug cheats can often tarnish a sports image and call into question the validity of results in competition.
These are the sport legends that have gone from zero to hero, entirely from what they choose to stick in their bodies, and as recent news has shown us, they have always existed, at all times.
So with this in mind, check out this list of drug cheats.
5. Asafa Powell
Asafa Powell was once the fastest man ever in the 100 meters, managing to run an incredible 9.72 is Lausanne, Switzerland. Simply unstoppable when it came to running in the Diamond League, Asafa was Jamaica’s main male sprinter (no small accomplishment) until the arival of Usain Bolt.

Jamaican sprinting superstar Usain Bolt stormed to victory in the 100m Final at the World Athletics Championships in the Luzhniki Stadium in Moscow, Russia on Sunday evening to claim his 4th world individual title.
It’s only his second 100m title; the usually unflappable star was disqualified for a false start 2 years ago, and the victory was less comprehensive than his original victory 4 years ago; winning in a time of 9.77 seconds from former drug cheat Justin Gatlin, who clocked an impressive 9.85 seconds.
Bolt had a fairly decent start, but it was Gatlin who powered from the blocks, and it was 60m before Bolt had passed the American, and 20m from the line before it looked assured for the Jamaican, with Nesta Carter following the top 2 home to sneak the bronze.
Gatlin was the only non-Jamaican in the top 5, as Carter snuck in with 9.95 seconds to take his bronze medal, while...
