Congrats to the high schooler. That's amazing. On the other hand, the winner Dadzie couldn't break 21.0 a year ago (at age 20) and now he runs a 19.79? That's... some progression. Though maybe he only ran below 21 in races that aren't listed on his WA page.
i think it’s a little stupid knightons times don’t count for the books because he was pro, but these will - asinga ran under a club team after choosing not to finish his official high school eligibility.
either way, congrats to him. big things in this young man’s future.
So are they actually going to keep this time as the record? Or are convicted dopers allowed to keep these records? All such a joke
Of the course the dopers keep their records - unless they tested positive before that race. Look at all the American Records from dopers that still stand (or got broken by another doper, lol).
Here the positive test is allegedly from July 18. If true, his April records are safe, most unfortunately. His "wins" at the South American Champs ten days later however will be gone (if the B test is also positive).
