that story from the world of athletics and proposals from the european governing body of the sport to as back as fare as 2005 as part of a bid to address concerns over doping. 0ur sports news correspondent andy swissjoins me. athletics has gone through a pretty torrid time lately but this is still a drastic idea coming from european athletics and what they want to do effectively is to rewrite the record books. they say on record since 2005 are reliable because that is when the authorities began to store samples for possible future retesti ng. samples for possible future retesting. so they say record set before that should no longer stand. that is a lot of records, dozens across track and field, some by british athletes, paula radcliffe and her record in the marathon set in 2003. today she described the idea as cowardly. alsojonathan edwards and his triple jump record from 1995. and colinjackson who still holds the indoor record in the hurdles, he along with the others affected by this, it is less than impressed. i personally think the whole of my career is under threat with a statemen

sebastian coe, the president of the iaaf, says it must consider european athletics' suggestion that allhould be wiped. the organisations are desperate to make a clean break in athletics after recent doping scandals, and coe believes all options should be considered. these proposals actually underpinned three really important things. first of all it toughens the stamps on anti—doping. secondly it makes sure that world records are set in an environment where we know there is prosch —— proper measurement and technology. and thirdly the samples of athletes who have set a record will be capped for ten years. they need to be discussed. clearly detail has to come through. i want to hear from the athletes. they will be made very clear. and, there has to be global debate about this. former world number one ilie nastase will not be invited into the royal box at wimbledon this year, following his behaviour at last month's fed cup tie. nastase, the romania team captain, was ejected after a foul—mouthed rant at his counterpart anne keothavong and british number one yohanna konta. he's been provision
