IAAF Corruption on a 'Different Scale'

IslandStats.com
A report into claims of doping cover-ups, extortion and money-laundering in athletics will show "a whole different scale of corruption" even compared to FIFA, says co-author Richard McLaren.

The independent commission, set up by the World Anti-Doping Agency, is set to report its findings on Monday.

McLaren said, "This is going to be a real game-changer for sport."

Meanwhile, the son of ex-president Lamine Diack is among four men charged by the IAAF over ethics code breaches.

The charges relate to covering up Russian athlete Liliya Shobukhova's doping violations and came in the week that Lamine Diack was placed under investigation, with the 82-year-old under suspicion of receiving money in 2011 in return for deferring sanctions against Russian athletes who failed drug tests.

Papa Massata Diack is a former consultant to the International Association of Athletics Federations.

He has been charged along with the former head of the IAAF anti-doping department Gabriel Dolle, the former president of the All-Russia Athletic Federation Alexei Melnikov and Valentin Balakhnichev, a former chief ARAF coach for long distance walkers and runners.
