Olympic gold medallist Darren Campbell says a proposal to rewrite the majority of athletics' world records before 2005 would be "for the greater good".

The move, designed to restore trust following doping scandals, has been criticised by British athletes.

However, Campbell supports the aim of the plan - even though he could lose his 4x100m European record from 1999.

"I will sacrifice whatever it takes to save the sport and give its credibility back," he told 蜜芽传媒 Radio 5 live.

Campbell lost his 4x100m relay gold medal from the 2002 European Championships after team-mate Dwain Chambers admitted to taking a banned steroid at the time.

"I've thought about it, put myself in their shoes of losing a record and yes, I've lost medals and you kind of go, 'OK it's for the greater good'. You have to accept it and move on," he said.
