The 20th World Athletics Championships. Tokyo 13th-21st September




The woman that holds the record has any amount of red flags about her performances.
Yes, I'm aware of the era and backdrop of sporting propaganda and the long term health complications that medical enhancements did to their victims. Funny this turns up with us on the cusp of the enhanced games and the furore building around it.


World sport is filling it's trousers because if dopers are competing and they come up way short of world records, it throws fresh spotlight on the clean* athletes in competition already. Imagine being more full of steroids than Ben Johnson was and still coming up short. Although I can see the argument of safe competition vs the temptation to push performance enhancers becoming a new battleground.
