  • The report says that the IAAF council could not have been unaware of doping athletics

    Dick Pound says Lord Coe is the best person to carry on as the IAAF president and days he >doesn’t believe that the former London 2012 chief knew about the doping

    But he does say that there was a cover-up – something Coe denied on Wednesday.

    Instead Pound blames organisational failure and says the blame extends beyond the Diacks but >continued to absolve Coe of blame.

    Of course, the Diacks are not without blame and Pound said that everything began with the >former IAAF president Lamine Diack who “was responsible for organizing and enabling the >conspiracy and corruption” that took place.

    The commission also fears that instances of extortion in Russia and Turkey may be the ‘tip of >the iceberg’

    Pound refuses to set a timeframe for Russia’s return to elite athletics competition.

    Difficult for the first two points to both be true.
