IAAF to unveil transparency plans

Just as the IAAF is about to endorse wide-ranging changes to its governance aimed at making the organisation more ethical, transparent and accountable, world athletics’ governing body is being assailed by more claims of corruption.

International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) Council officials will receive an update from the Task Force looking at the progress being made on anti-doping in Russia and whether there is any indication the country could return to the athletics fold a year after being banned. Athletes of the year gala event will be held tomorrow.
