IAAF ready to offer advice to international sports federations

Following the decision made today by the IOC to allow individual sporting governing bodies to decide if Russian competitors can take part in the Rio 2016 Olympic Games, the IAAF – as the first sports federation to have been through this course of action – is ready to offer assistance to other international federations going through this process.

IAAF President Sebastian Coe said: “We have created and been through the process. We know how hard it is emotionally and rationally to get the process right. I have offered the help of the IAAF team to ASOIF and we continue to stand by to assist and offer advice to any international sports federations.”
