Assuming Bruce Lee is not allowed.....

No can't really include Bruce Lee.

I would have included Evil Knievel in my top 5 for someone who i was fascinated with as a child but not really a sportsman.

Evil Knievel? You must be on a wind up.

So we have a confirmed drug cheat and a convicted rapist. I wonder what makes them a favourite?

They're all drug cheats. Some confirmed, some not. Armstrong was a superb cyclist, with or without.
Some people try and make it sound like if you pumped any old fat bloke with drugs and he'd win Le Tour.

Just checked the list of winners of the Tour de France and Lance Armstrong is not on it.
