Variations in Men's and Women's World Records

[slowpoke]

Why is it that the men have had a steady progression of world records, while the majority of women's are stuck in the '80s? After the Iron Curtain fell, didn't those countries admit to rampant use of steroids? If so, shouldn't those records be wiped out? For example, who's ever going to break that 7.52m long jump record?
