If you break a world record, for example the mile, and your on steroids or EPO or any other performance enhancing drug, does it count? I'm not talking about Olympic records. Like guiness book type records.

Nope, it will be stripped. Guiness takes their sports records from the governing body over that sport.

Sure, why not? As long as the record states you did it on steroids. You can also do the mile in 20 seconds if you do it on rocket-propelled Acme roller skates, a record held to this day by Wile E. Coyote.

No it does not.....You are cheating the systems and in the Guinness Book those are people who have crazy talents and set those crazy records. You would have just shamed and cheated the book. That's defiantly not fair to the rest of all the people in the book.
I'm sure when you present your talent or whatever to Guinness they fully research you ada the record you are trying to break to purposely take out the phonies.

No, because it would still be cheating and they don't want to encourage people to dope themselves up, thus breaking the law and putting themselves at risk, just for the sake of breaking a record.

If they test you when you ran the race and it comes up positive then they do take the record away. That is what happened to Maurice Green.

I think the rules state that it must be a natural record so my answer is no.
