I meant to write that Masterkova and Szabo were the only ones from the OP's list that I genuinely wouldn't bet the farm on (in fact, I'd bet it the other way). Masterkova's husband was a Spanish cycling coach, and Szabo's husband got caught with oxygen boosting drugs at the French border and then Szabo more or less retired suddenly at the beginning of an Olympic year.
Ottey might be a bit uncertain to me, and I just don't know Arron very well at all (but have no reason to doubt her). I would call Arron's 10.73 (w/ 2.0 wind) the legit WR.
One of the posters made an outrageous statement that woman has ever ran the 1500m under 4 mins clean. After stating that Sonia O'Sullivan, Zola Budd, Carla Sacremento, Hayley Tullet, Gabriella Dorio, Anita Weyermann, Maryam Yusuf Jamal, Kutre Delecha, Hassiba Boulmerka have all achieved this feat, this particular person still says that all of them were likely to be dopers. I cant understand why such ridiculous sceptics watch the sport in the first place!
