United States record

The team of Jerome Young, Antonio Pettigrew, Tyree Washington and Michael Johnson in 1998 ran 2:54.20 to set the American and world record in the relay, but Pettigrew in May admitted to engaging in doping activities dating back to 1997. As part of his penalty issued on June 3, 2008, the United States Anti-Doping Agency invalidated all of Pettigrew's results beginning in 1997 - a time frame that includes the 4x400m relay record.

The USATF will consider removing that record at its 2008 Annual Meeting. If approved, the American record would go to the U.S. team of Andrew Valmon, Quincy Watts, Butch Reynolds and Michael Johnson, who ran 2:54.29 to win the 1993 World Outdoor Championships in Stuttgart, Germany.[4]
