Seb Coe: I know these are dark days

IAAF president Sebastian Coe insists he does not underestimate the seriousness of the doping and corruption crisis engulfing athletics’ world governing body.

And Coe, who says he has not considered stepping downat head of the beleaguered organisation, is confident no allegations will emerge which directly implicate him in wrongdoing.

The IAAF is braced for the second part of the World Anti-Doping Agency report into Russian doping today. Part one laid bare state- sponsored doping in the country which resulted in it being suspended by the IAAF.
