    The IOC may be corrupt as all fuck, but they're smart enough to link the competitor's insta accounts:

    A quick glance at current Track and Field WR and heres the ones that its hard not to think hmmmm (based on prejudice and deep seated suspicions of course..)

    Mens Hammer throw - Russian 1986
    Mens Discus - East German 1986

    Womans 400m - East German 1985
    Womans 800m - Czech 1983
    Womans High jump - Bulgarian 1987
    Womans Long Jump - Russian 1988
    Womans Shot Put - Russian 1987
    Womans Discus - East German 1987
    Womans 10km Walk - Russian 1990
    Womans 4 x 400 Relay - Russian 1988
    Womans 4 x 800 Relay - Russian 1984

    Men dont seem so dodgy, most records these days have been broken in the last 20 years.

    But the woman, amazing how many records were set in the mid-late 80's and have never been broken since...1987/1988 seems especially to have been the height of the drug i mean track and field program..

    Women's 400m WR is held by a, checks notes, East German from 1985. Ridiculous that is still an official record.

    There’s a few track and field records from the 70s and 80s from the Eastern Block that are still current today.

    It's not just the Eastern Block countries, but that era, and into the 1990s. Randy Barnes, the US shot putter was juiced and his WR from 1990 was only broken this year by Crowser.

    Some of those records no one has come near to since, nowhere near.

    Yep saw that too, other countries with the USA sprinters etc in the 80s wouldnt be much better then the others.
