Don't forget about doping teams, especially non-WADA sports like NFL, and NBA. I don't know about professional soccer leagues and which teams get which gear, or other leagues for that matter, but Nike has also has their fingers in the NCAA. Ignoring recruitment, amateurism, and academic cheating, drug tests are ignored, covered up, and generally inadequate. My own alma mater, a Nike sponsored athletics program, is found to have covered up positive drug tests (recreational).

what are the criteria for inclusion here?
i don't think Woods and Lewis ever officially tested positive.

What counts as official? The officials are as much part of the fraud as the athletes............

Cav would be a good inclusion to the Nike stable, they need a Frodo and hobbit at Eugene Oregon, they are missing sponsoring a Peter Jackon central casting hobbit.

Also, just cos of no positive tests we know, probably never was even testing then, Michael Jordan, add him in, the athlete who built Nike on the back on his own traps.

You can build muscle as a 6'6" athlete, a skinny athlete, you can build as much muscle as MJ as a genetically skinny athlete. But not if you have to pursue a full time career in a sport requiring the neuro-muscular fine motor co-ordination skill sport.

those traps and shoulders, not natural under this restriction. see his physique as a 21yo junior tarheel at chapel hill.
 
Don't remember the point where I turned the other way
Oh, whatever happened to the good old days
It first started out as harmless enough
And then Skinny John said how easy it was

Well come on, let's be real. 90% of the sports world (number pulled out of my ass) is sponsored by Nike. If you are implying Nike actively dopes or encourages doping, then we got something, but this is just seems coincidental.

How much of the doped peloton wear Oakley sunglasses?

COME ON !

Congratulations to Serena Williams for her 20th slam.

The American announcers said "It is amazing, that at 34, when most tennis players are washed up, SERENA IS STILL DOMINATING THE SPORT" !

Dominating a sport while having almost no tennis skill whatsoever, other than being MUCH stronger than her opponents. She played while suffering the "flu". What a courageous woman.

WHAT AN AMERICAN HERO, AND A WONDERFUL ROLE MODEL FOR AFRICAN-AMERICAN GIRLS !

Oh, and congratulations to the ITF, for keeping the DRUGS CHEATS out of the game, so that clean players like Serena get their deserved glory.

Pretty sure that every single nike athlete well known enough to have a wikipedia entry is a doper (defined as: has broken anti-doping rules at least once in their career).

That's some very low bodyfat. Cyclists would be pround. Ok, So C. Ronaldo is suspicious, but of course he never tested positive. What about Sharapova. Is there any visual evidence?

I suspect Sharapova, because :
1) You can't compete in the WTA without dope, and she has won multiple slams (they are called PERFORMANCE-ENHANCING drugs for a reason).
2) She is 6'2", even though her family members are average height, and she kept growing taller into her 20s (most women hit their growth spurt between the ages of 9-12, then grow outwards). I VERY STRONGLY suspect that she was on HGH as a teen.
3) Many of the suspected PED users in tennis had pushy relatives as their coaches when they were younger (Agassi, Capriotti, Pierce, Murray, Nadal, Williams). Sharapova's father Yuri is a classical pushy tennis parent.
