LORD Coe wants to see any controversial world records scrubbed out by athletics' current stars.

- NICK MASHITER, PA

Shericka Jackson's 21.45 seconds en route to winning the 200m at the World Championships on Thursday leaves the Jamaican as the fastest woman alive over the distance.

It is bettered only by Florence Griffiths-Joyner's world record of 21.34 seconds from 1988, which is surrounded by doubt with questions over the legality of her time.

Griffiths-Joyner, who died in 1998, never failed a drugs test and there has been no definitive proof she doped. She also holds the 100m world record of 10.49 seconds from 1988.
