All-Russia Athletics Federation President Vadim Zelichenok today promised they would send their response to the allegations of corruption and doping cover-ups published in the World Anti-Doping Agency Independent Commission but insisted they were not guilty of "systemic violations" and should not be banned from the sport.

International Association of Athletics Federation (IAAF) President Sebastian Coe has vowed he will not be swayed by outside pressure when making a decision about whether or not to ban Russia following allegations of "state-sponsored" doping.

Sebastian Coe is under the cosh. More so than at any time in his career, on or off the track.

Russia have been given until the end of this week to respond to the publication of today's report published by the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) that recommended the country's athletes be suspended from international competition, which could include next year's Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro. 

International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) President Sebastian Coe has claimed he is "more determined than ever to rebuild this sport and restore trust" following the scandal involving his predecessor Lamine Diack, who allegedly accepted cash to cover up positive doping cases involving Russian athletes.

Remember back in April at the SportAccord Convention when Marius Vizer had made himself the Olympic Movement's number one enemy following his explosive speech criticising Thomas Bach, who was it that was in the vanguard opposing this dangerous mutineer? It was Lamine Diack, then still the President of the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF).

Kenya's Eliud Kipchoge and Ethiopia's Mare Dibaba have been named male and female Best Marathon Runners of the Year awards at a Gala Awards dinner in Athens.

Like fetid fumes, bad news continues to emanate from the citadels of power in world sport - with the seemingly endless fug of the FIFA investigation now casting itself over the shoulders of the great Franz Beckenbauer, and the International Association of Athletics Federations’ ex-President Lamine Diack newly announced as being under investigation by French police and the International Olympic Committee’s Ethics Commission following allegations of corruption.
