They're getting rid of all world records pre 2005 and yet people are still cheating regularly. In 30 years time do they wipe out records again?

All samples are now kept and stored, so they can be retested in future when new testing procedures have been developed.... the Women's 400m record has been a joke for over 30 years, hardf to believe that only about 4 of the top 20 times have been set in the last 12 years considering how just about every record has been broken on a number of occasions.
Bob Beamon's long jump record lasted 23 years - and now Mike Powell's has survived since 1991. Is that proof both were on drugs then? Jonathan Edwards is 20 years now isn't it. Michael Johnson held the 400m record for 17 years. These things happen *
*though I've just seen where the women's 400m record holder came from :yikes:
Yes, all in a vain attempt to remain relevant, in the age when football threatened to take over.
It's all about priorities, innit. Notice how the FA managed to easily find a perfectly reasonable way to ensure positive tests remained private? Why didn't the athletics panjandra (panjandrums?) think of this? Because they didn't want or care to, that's why.
Yes, utterly laughable and confirms what I have always thought, that Coe is a self-absorbed, self-serving cretin of the highest order.
Let's erase all the world records before 2005 so that clean athletes like Usain Bolt can be given the recognition they deserve. :hehe:
