"In the women's 100, a pair of young sprint stars have their sights set on the one of the oldest meet records, Jarmila Kratochvilova's 11.16 from 1982."
Kratochvilova may have been juiced to the eye balls, but what a range she has (sub 11, sub 22, sub 48 (xWR) and sub 1:54 (WR)). Could you imagine Kipketer getting a start in the 100m field of a GP. They must of had some good stuff back then!
Are there any clean women's world records?
100?200?400?800?1500?3000?

That Guy was Burly.
Kipketer probably could get a start in a 100m field; with a 46 PR for 400, his 100 best might have been as fast as 10.5. Granted, he'd finish last, but he'd still be there.

She never went sub-11. Her best for the 100m was 11.09.
And yes, there are some clean women's WRs. The marathon most definitely, the 5k maybe too. Plus the JT, but only because of the changed spec. Maybe the PV, but who knows what the Russians get up to these days.
Apart from those few, I doubt the others are clean (not including the road world bests).
Abeygless and Radcliffe and Adere are clean. But Wang, Kratochvilova, Qu, FLo-Jo, and Koch, who basically hold all the other records, are all under big suspicion in one way or another.
The steeplechase?
Sorry, I was wrong, no sub 11 (there may have be a windy 10.96 some where), but she was =3rd in the world that year she ran his...her 11.09. Kipketer would have a tough time matching that
