[QUOTE="Bill, post: 942746, member: 79436"] I don't see why it's irreconcilable. So far as I can see it's a completely different issue. ISSUE 1. Some times ran in the 1980s were so low that in all probability they were obtained in breach of competition rules with the use of undetectable performance enhancing drugs. IAAF should consider whether they have sufficient evidence to wipe the applicable times from the records (presumably if they did there would be issues with knowing which times to wipe and if not). ISSUE 2. An athlete today is seeking to compete in womens' events whilst not biologically a woman. Because it's no longer considered acceptable to apply the straightforward "if you have a dick then you are not eligible for this race" criteria, IAAF have therefore introduced a clarification on the eligibility criteria for womens' races, which is based on the aspiring competitors' level of testosterone. All competitors whether biologically women or people who have simply elected to be a woman, have to comply with the eligibility criteria. If in order to comply with the criteria they have to take drugs then they are allowed to use those drugs. ISSUE 3. Usain Bolt is very fast. [/QUOTE]
