MOSCOW (AP) — The IAAF says it will investigate claims that Russia is flouting demands for anti-doping reforms as it seeks readmission to world track and field in time for the Olympics.
The IAAF says the taskforce monitoring Russia during its suspension “will look carefully into” the allegations from German TV broadcaster ARD and that it has advance access to related audio and video materials.
An excerpt from an ARD documentary to be broadcast Sunday included footage apparently showing a Russian coach, Vladimir Mokhnev, continuing to train top Russian athletes despite being suspended from doing so by the IAAF.
