Not meaning to be provocative as the recent X-Files fan club on the IAAF vs USTAF issue, but has anyone considered that: - going to one false start from two (even up to 400m or 800m) - going to two field attempts from three (for all vertical field events and multis) might change these events as significantly as new weights in the throws, distance changes on the track or height changes in obstacle races. Perhaps these rule changes (which I wouldn't support for reasons some have already raised) are being considered so the current records might be scrubbed and a new record sheet for the new millenium established for these 'new specification' events? PS - it's gonna be a challenge to post without mentioning the D word under the list's new 'don't ask, don't tell' policy in relation to performance enhancing cheating substances..
