Seb Coe's right-hand man denies doping cover-up claim after email leak

Nick Davies denied implementing a media strategy to interfere with the IAAF's anti-doping procedure.

IAAF president Seb Coe’s right-hand man has denied implementing a media strategy designed to interfere with its anti-doping procedure.

French newspaper Le Monde have obtained a copy of an email sent by Nick Davies, the former director of communications at the IAAF and now director of the president’s office, in which he appears to seek to delay the identification of Russian drug cheats in the run-up to the 2013 World Championships in Moscow.
