European Athletics President Hansen says rewriting records decision not likely until year's end

Svein Arne Hansen, the European Athletics (EA) President, underlined here today that the controversial suggestions to annul world and continental records in the sport set before 2005 were now firmly the responsibility of the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) and that any decision on them was not likely at least until the end of the year.
