IAAF will do everything to protect clean athletes: Coe (Reuters)

By Amlan Chakraborty NEW DELHI (Reuters) – Athletics has been at the forefront in the fight against doping and its world governing body will do everything to protect the clean athletes, president Sebastian Coe said on Monday. The twice Olympic 1,500 meters champion was elected in August to head the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) which has been accused of going soft on doping after thousands of blood test data were leaked to media. Coe said athletics has been “at the vanguard” in the fight against doping and promised to rid the sport of the menace.
