IAAF scraps 4x400m relay World record
BEIJING: The IAAF scrapped the 4x400m relay World record set by the United States in 1998 because of Antonio Pettigrew’s admission of doping.
Michael Johnson, Tyree Washington and Jerome Young were also on the team that set the record of 2 minutes, 54.20 seconds in Uniondale, New York, on July 22, 1998.
“The IAAF is sending a clear message that we will not tolerate doping,” Lamine Diack, the president of IAAF said on Tuesday.
The previous World record of 2:54.29 was set by the American team of Andrew Valmon, Quincy Watts, Butch Reynolds and Johnson at the 1993 World Championships in Stuttgart, Germany. — AP
