And Olga Nazarova split 47.82 in the same race, going around the American Diane Dixon, and therefore starting out in lane 2, I would assume, and possibly even passing on the curve (maybe drafting).
It's not pointless at all. East Germany had a very well documented doping program of these specific athletes, and so it is known that they were doping and that those impossible world records were doped. They have got to be scrubbed from the books but are not because they are being protected by powerful IAAF interests in Germany, Russia, and former Eastern Bloc Countries voting en bloc. You just do not have that kind of documented record of doping for many of the other world record holders. Now, if they tested positive for doping later, I would support all their records being stricken from the books, including Randy Barnes. Now, of course, other dopers might then take those records. And you'd have to do some actual research to see whether there was good reason to invalidate those records. But start with erasing Marita Koch, Jarmila Kratochvilova. Then go after a bunch of these characters:
Women's Shot Put

Its of common knowledge that East German athletes were under a state sponsored doping regime during her success years, using all sorts of anabolic steroids. How can anyone believe she is clean with such an untouchable time? Shes as clean as a cows ****
Dont say that she never tested positive. Lance never tested positive and look at how clean he turned out to be!
Koch would run at least a dozen world record times in the 200 and 400, hell she had indoor world records yep.....the 60. She was an amazing sprinter. And since track is nothing but druggies what is the problem?
Time to give up on there being anyone in the sport who isn;t dirty so what is the big deal about Koch?

Um - doping is banned? I see you're a man of principle.

I can see you live in a fantasy world, delusional. Nobody cares about rules, laws, what is banned this is news to you?
True, it's not fair to single out Koch - but it's worth considering voiding all East German records between 1971 and 1990, the period during which doping was system in athletics in that country.
There are a lot of suspicious records in T&F, including the infamous Chinese women. But if you go back and start trying to figure out which ones to wipe out it opens up a whole can of worms. There is always a chance that one that gets wiped off the books is actually clean.
She completed 400 meters in a sanctioned event faster than any other women in history. That generally is the standard for a women's WR.
I seem to recall Ben Johnson in 1988 completing 100 meters in a sanctioned event faster than any other man in history. Yet boarded his flight home at the Seoul airport with neither a gold medal not a world record.
The only thing keeping her record up there is the geek pride factor.
They don't want to delete it because they are deluded, deceived, gullible, naive, and fooled into believing that Koch was that fast naturally.
Wrong answer.
Perec is the new world record holder with a 48.25.
We all know Perec did it naturally because of who she is naturally.
Kochs natural self could do no better than a 52.58. That's how powerful steroids are that they are running up to 5 seconds faster on them sometimes.
Koch is a pathetic. What a joke.
She doesn't own crap.
She needs to be humiliated all over CNN an Fox News just like they humiliated A-rod.
Anyone that believes that Kochs record is legit is deluded.
It's called denial.
DENIAL SUCKS HUH?
Your tiny little brain really wants to believe the lie huh? You really want to believe it because it makes you feel proud inside doesn't it?
So proud that you would never even think about deleting it.
That's the power of denial.
The least you can all do is admit that Kochs record is fake.
It doesn't exist.
She never ran 47.60 because anything done on steroids doesn't count.
It's deleted just like they deleted Ben Johnson record in 1988.
We are going to do the same thing with Kochs record.
Doesn't count.
Do it naturally or don't do it at all.
Only the natural self is real.
Also common knowledge that the US and Jamaica, as well as other Carib nations led massive privately sponsored doping regimes. The first person that we need to eliminate form the WRs is usain Bolt. How can anyone believe he is clean with such an untouchable time? Hes as clean as a donkey ****
Dont say that he never tested positive. Lance never tested positive and look at how clean he turned out to be.
She's not.
The only thing keeping his record up there is the geek pride factor.

Wrong answer.
Lemaitre is the new world record holder with a 9.92.
We all know Lemaitre did it naturally because of who he is naturally.
Bolt natural self could do no better than a 10.05. That's how powerful steroids are that they are running up to .5 seconds faster on them sometimes.
Bolt is a pathetic. What a joke.
He doesn't own crap.
He needs to be humiliated all over CNN an Fox News just like they humiliated A-rod.
Anyone that believes that Bolts record is legit is deluded.
It's called denial.

Well this is a darn weird post. Are you roided up?
It's also common knowledge that all Bob Kersee athletes are doping, and he's been doing that for how many decades? Look, the fact is that if you are at the World Championships, you are a drug cheat. Otherwise you wouldn't be there.
Flojo was not part of a state-sponsored doping program and was not shown to be doping, whereas Koch and Kratochvilova and other Eastern Europeans were and have been proven to be on doping programs, yet they are protected by powerful European interests in the IOC/IAAF.
Flojo was doped to the gills just like Carl Lewis and Ben Johnson. Her arms and leg muscles looked like a body builder's. The 100m final in Seoul was a joke. Did you see how fast she accelerated in the last 50m while other runners were slowing down? It's as if she hit the NOS button in Fast & Furious.
I wonder if some of these athletes from the 80s feel guilty about their performances. They probably expected to break the record, collect some fortune and fame, and the record would be gone and forgotten within 5-10 years max. I doubt any of them expected to still hold the record four decades later. It's possible that none of these athletes will live to see their records fall. Even most of the Chinese distance records from the early 90s fell already.

We've banned state doper Russia, but haven't done more than temporarily cancel some of the athletes

That's exactly what they thought. Records were getting broken like crazy back in the 1970's and 1980's. They had every reason to believe their records wouldn't last more than a few years, because they thought that another drugged athlete would come along and break it.
They never expected the out of competition drug testing rules to go into effect in 1989. Now their records are permanently locked in, and everyone knows they were drug cheats.
