SOFIA (Reuters) - Former Olympic high jump champion Stefka Kostadinova has criticised proposals to wipe out athletics world records in an attempt to regain public trust and clean up the sport’s image, tarnished by a series of doping offences.
Kostadinova, who is still the world record holder with a jump of 2.09 metres from the 1987 world championships in Rome, said on Wednesday the suggestion of expunging all existing records would be "unfair to all (athletes) who absolutely honestly reached the peak of their careers".
