I don't know, they're stupid if they don't. Bradley Wiggins didn't and he won the Tour de France and a gold medal to add to his other four. It can be done. He's now 4/7 favourite to win the British sports personality of the year with Mo Farah 6/1 and Jessica Ennis 12/1, also both clean.

Generally yes. Unfortunately, there seems to always be a cheater in the Games.
