RunBlogRun opines: We are happy that the IAAF Ethics Board is going to investigate the accusations focused on Frankie Fredericks. However, we do not understand why Mr. Fredericks has any active position within the IAAF while the investigation is going on. Didn’t they suspend IAAF staff who were being investigated? The IAAF has to stay above reproach during these challenging times.

Our suggestion to Lord Coe is to reconsider his decision on those accused of wrong doing who are IAAF team members. The IAAF has to stay above reproach during these challenging times. If this investigation is to be taken seriously, the IAAF has to put a serious protocal in place.

Ethics board to review

MONACO (MON): IAAF president Sebastian Coe has said Frankie Fredericks will stay on the IAAF Council while an ethics board reviews allegations that he accepted payments in relation to the awarding of the 2016 Olympics to Rio de Janeiro, informs Reuters. However, Fredericks has stepped down from the IAAF taskforce looking into doping allegations in Russia.
