ARE PAST IAAF WORLD RECORDS CORRECT ?


In the 2017 World Athletics Championships in London last week, were events won by athletes, with the help of  one or two other Competitors from their own country in the same race ?   

What is questionable is whether it is right to adopt as an individual World Record, a performance which is achieved when other countrymen are also participating in the same race ?   Should such a record not be registered only as a "National Record" but never as a "World Record" ?

In races longer than 400 metres, competitors are not obliged to remain in "lanes".   This is when "team" runners, could and do sometimes, start to help each other ! 

Hence the question arises whether all current IAAF World Records have been correctly recorded ?
