A lot of African athletes could be affected if a proposal from European Athletics to wipe some world records from the books due to doping concerns is accepted at any point. 

European Athletics have proposed several criteria that the records must fulfil:

• It was achieved at a competition on a list of approved international events where the highest standards of officiating and technical equipment can be guaranteed;
• The athlete had been subject to an agreed number of doping control tests in the months leading up to it;
• The doping control sample taken after the record was stored and available for re-testing for 10 years.

President of athletics' world governing body, the IAAF, Seb Coe, is keen on the idea so there could be momentum behind the proposals.

While some of these races are not run very often (1000m, mile, 2000m, 20,000m track, 30,000m track) they are all official world records according the IAAF website.

Among the losers would be Morocco’s Hicham El Gerrouj and Kenenisa Bekele.
