IAAF Set to Wipe all pre 2005 World Records from the Books

If they just wait about five years, every womens record is going to be broken by a transformer anyway, so that'll save some stress over things.

What part of your ahss did you get that from?

They are all stored, how do you think they went back and busted those '08 samples? Do you realize Bolt got striped of a relay gold because his teammate's sample got flagged? Guess what? They tested Bolt's samples too and they were clean.

It's a complete waste of time talking to letsrun troll morons because all you do is pull lies and misinformation out of you ahsses.

I was sceptical of this proposal at first, then I realized that El Garouge would lose FIVE world records! :D

In the womens 1500m we will be left with

Dibaba 3:50.1

Muir 3:55.2

Hassan 3:56.0

All the times run by other athletes between Dibaba and Muir were set by Russian in the 80's or Chinese in the 90's

The time of Genzebe Dibaba needs to go away now.

Laura Muir is the squeaky clean World Record Holder in the 1500m.

Where is Laura Muir training now???

Answer:

"With her first outdoor race of the season – at the Prefontaine Classic in Eugene in three weeks –approaching she is now focusing on her training... in Flagstaff, Arizona."

In conclusion:

1) Laura Muir is the most exciting female runner on this planet at the present time.

2) The Speedy "wee" Scot Laura Muir is now a member of the Flagstaff Runner Teamâ„¢.

3) BINGO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

4) Oh yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

5) Go Laura Muir!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Does the IAAF know 2005 was 12 years ago? What about all the dirty records after 2005?

By the way, Laura is actually a squeaky clean Speedy "wee" Scottish-Irish runner.

I think that some records do need to come down, as there are some that were obviously doped records, but I think the should be criteria different. Maybe scratch all records that no one has come close to running/jumping/throwing/vaulting within a certain percentage of, before 2005. Not a perfect system, I know, but some are quite obvious. Like no one has come close to the outdoor 5k record, except in one race (Paris), I think it's safe to say it was doped.

Just a pity there was barely any out if competition testing in Jamaica when Bolt set his records.

Not to mention that the IAAF were taking bribes to cover up fails as in the recent Russian whistle blower case

Brain scan is much more accurate.

I posted my thoughts earlier about a way around this predicament. Change the distances from metric to imperial units and drop the 385 yds. from the marathon. Retire metric records. If doping/cheating continues to occur switch back to the metric system and retire imperial units again. Continue to do this until the athletes get the message. And it is the athletes that need to get the message.

Yo help, these apes keep slandering SaintBekele and Gorgeous Dibaba. It has to stop right now 🙅🏿‍♂️

Also YouYouYou is the biggest fggt to haunt this board since Stick w/ eHarmony. If Tony the Tiger, Stick and Metric Miler lined up in a gay circular conga procession they still couldn't compare. Congrats to YouYouYou 👏🏿🏆🥇8==D💦🤤

(And Lord Coe will never take your world record away-- you earned it clean; dope free!)

pure garbage

Which solution ? To start, from 1st Jan 2018, and with the new rules, a NEW LIST OF WR, considering the best performance in every event at the end of the year as FIRST RECORD (not only for World, but also for Areas Records and National Records in every Country).

In this case, we can clearly divide the athletic history in two periods :

the period with inadequate antidoping controls, and the period "under clear and scientific controls".

b) We begin with something completely new, starting the new chronology for WR, AR and NR from the best result, in any event, at the end of 2017 or 2018.

My Gosh Renato, (I have been under the weather) but I agree with you on this. But I would go further, in order to claim a WR in future the athlete needs to submit X number of tests during an X period of time, say 13 tests in 12 months leading up to the WR (the same goes for Olympic/WCs qualification). Also if they fail a doping test in the succeeding 3+ years the record is nullified and any medals are forfeited. The samples need to be stored perpetually for reference. All blood scores, T/E ratio's and anomalies should be publicly disclosed.

Wait a minute...

Athens 04' samples (El G, Bekele, Lagat, Baldini, Holmes, etc) were retested in 2012, and came clean.

So now, IAAF is saying that those controls (not from "another era") are obsolete?

Is Seb Coe hiding a positive from Usain Bolt or Mo Farah (in retested samples) and therefore he's mading up this nonsense?

Maybe I've just missed them, but I haven't seen any citations or links to the committee report itself. Here's the link:

http://www.european-athletics.org/mm/Document/Generic/General/01/28/11/44/ENGProjectTeamReportoncredibilityofERsFINAL_Neutral.pdf

The report is remarkably thin in its reasoning. And after setting out four options, the option of continuing with the status quo is dismissed in a single sentence that seems to reflect the committee's view of its assigned task rather than any serious consideration of that option:

"The 'No Change' option was rejected immediately by the Project Team as the brief was to propose way of ensuring credibility."

The three remaining options considered by the committee all seem pretty bad, and many obvious questions about the selected option are never addressed.

Probably.

First the Eurocucks ruin women's athletics by letting dudes race women. And now they're gonna axe the whole circus in the name of "fairness," or whatever the disgusting perversion of nature they're bandying around this season that *must* be accommodated.

Hmmm. Just in time for Mo to retire from the track this year? 🤔That little btch won't even time trial with the whole pharmacy coursing through his veins but yes let's set the bar a little lower, eh? Thank God he'll never touch 12:40 or 26:35... but he'll get another gold participation medal in the 9600 jog and kick before Coe closes the file and pats himself on the back for being THE savior of track and field.

What's next, Eurocucks? ⚰️🔨
