These are dark days for athletics, says IAAF president Sebastian Coe

Sebastian Coe admits these are “dark days” for athletics but has stressed his determination to lead the sport down the “long road to redemption”.

It emerged on Friday that the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) ethics commission had brought disciplinary charges against four men, including the son of former president Lamine Diack and the former head of its anti-doping department, amid the corruption crisis engulfing international athletics.
