Track and field’s profound crisis is expected to deepen on Monday when an independent commission appointed by the World Anti-Doping Agency presents its findings in Geneva.
This will come a week after French authorities placed Lamine Diack, the former president of track and field’s world governing body, the International Association of Athletics Federations, under formal investigation on charges of corruption and money laundering, alleging that he demanded payments in exchange for suppressing positive drug tests.
The commission’s extensive report has the potential to be a watershed moment.
“All I would say is: Pay attention to it,” Craig Reedie, the president of WADA, said Sunday in an interview with BBC Radio.
