Barnes - SP/WR not on All-Time Lists

[maximus3849]

Sorry if this has been covered, but is there a reason why Randy Barnes' WR throw in the shot of 75-10.25 is not listed on the "All Time" World and US lists? The All Time list has Timmermann's 75-8 at the top and the US list has Oldfield's 75-0 at the top, any reason or just an oversight?

I remember asking the exact same question last year with regards to the Olympic Preview material. GH provided the answer, I assume he will do so again.

More or less, because it defies credulity to list a mark made just weeks before a positive doping test. I'm sure there's a more nuanced answer but this is what it comes down to.

Speaking of which, the IAAF has Marion's 10.75 from Sydney 2000 on the W100 list. They should take that one down, because she was actually DQ'd, even if retroactively 7 years later.
