Paula Radcliffe expressed anger at the recent announcement by the International Association of Athletics Federation (IAAF) that world records set before 2005 were going to be erased from history. Many feel sorry for Radcliffe and others, but for the records that have stood in women's individual track events since the 1980s, there will be less sympathy.

The Dirtiest Race in History
When I started writing this blog eighteen months ago, there
were numerous sporting events that immediately sprung to mind when I considered
which topics to cover. One certainty was that at some point I would try my very
best to research, investigate, and compose a piece about the 1988 Olympics
Men's 100 metres final in Seoul.
And then I read The
Dirtiest Race in History by Richard Moore
and realised that, in comparison, my amateur efforts would struggle to qualify
from the heats.
