>The current generation of shot putters does not measure themselves against the distances from the time when doping was widespread, Schilder said in that same extensive interview at the end of 2025. “We do take those distances from the past seriously, but we view it as the unofficial world record. We know that it was achieved with aids that we will never, ever use.”

>“In those years, there was something else at play that caused it to skyrocket. I don't know what they all used, but it wasn't contaminated meat. We look at the distances thrown with the new rules and stricter controls we have. So, the record holder is Valerie Adams.”
