Corruption at IAAF not as bad as FIFA, says anti-doping Chairman

Richard W Pound.

Dick Pound, the chairman of a newly released independent World Anti-Doping Agency report, says corruption at the IAAF is not as bad as at FIFA. He’s called the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) a failed organisation that’s at a crossroads. The report is scathing of the organisations former president, Lamine Diack, saying he co-ordinated the corruption and cover-ups of doping. Pound claims the IAAF's in-house issues can be solved and he believes Sebastian Coe, who replaced Diack when he stepped down, is the man to lead change.
