        Sort of implies that all the world records should be reset...not that there was any doping going on 🧐

        We should see this improve if women are able to get high doses of testosterone again through transgender legislation. 😐

        Am I reading the graph wrong? A quick look at Wikipedia shows plenty of IAAF female records set since 2000pic.twitter.com/gUmeyQEnWT

        I wonder if the graph is restricted to specific events

        Are you sure this graph is accurate? This seems to indicate zero world records set by women for every year but 2003, but that is definitely wrong. At least five were set in 2005, for instance (e.g. the best marathon time was set by Paula Radcliffe).

        It's from this article: https://www.abc.net.au/news/2012-07-25/jericho-olympics/4151414 … It doesn't include events introduced part way through the period it covers.

        Unrelated: the Warsaw Pact collapsed, followed shortly by the Soviet Union.

        Not really. Men taking additional testosterone is going to be quite different to women taking additional testosterone.
