Great idea! Let's assume that times before 2005 are "dirty" and times after 2005 are "clean."
Let's replace Flo Jo's "dirty" 10.49 WR from 1988 with Carmelita Jeter's "clean" 10.64 from 2009.
Let's replace Qu Yunxia's "dirty" 3:50.46 WR from 1993 with Genzebe Dibaba's "clean" 3:50.07 from 2015.
Let's replace Wang Junxia's "dirty" 29:31 WR from 1993 with Almaz Ayana "clean" 29:17 from 2016.
Let's replace our old delusions with new delusions. Great job IAAF!
That's exactly it.
Apparently some guy running 3 seconds slower that the WR is still hotter than this on the front page though!.
