Ben Jhonson was once asked "What do you prefer, Gold Medal or World Record"?
He said Gold Medal coz no one can take it away.
He was proved wrong. His medal was taken back when he was tested positive in a dope test.
He argued famously "If you don't take it, You won't make it". Probably that was the order at that time.
There were some people including great Carl Lowis who were alleged to have taken stimulants but they were never caught and thus remained clean..
And then some were convicted unfairly. Time comes when people get judgemental and skeptical about you. But in such situations friends do not seek explanation and enemies don't take explanation. Thus trust is what drives the relationships and the world forward.
For me the answer would have been absolute world record becoz that wud get me gold medal anyway.
Good Night
