MONACO (AP) — The IAAF says Russia remains banned from competing internationally in track and field because of its past doping practices.
The decision was announced Tuesday after an IAAF Council meeting.
The IAAF has two remaining conditions for Russia to be reinstated. It wants the country to pay its costs, including legal costs, incurred from dealing with the Russian doping crisis. It also wants access to a Russian computer database that could flag up other athletes suspected of doping.
The country’s track team was banned by the IAAF in November 2015 after a World Anti-Doping Agency investigation found widespread drug use by elite Russian athletes.
