IAAF To Russia: This Is What You Need To Do To Compete
The IAAF published guidelines for Russian athletes to apply to compete as neutral athletes in 2017.
The IAAF published a new set of guidelines to the Russian Athletics Federation today. This criteria will be used for athletes wishing to apply to compete as neutral athletes in 2017.
"Russian athletes have been let down by a system that should have protected them and celebrated achievements not one that created doubt and expulsion from competition," said IAAF President Sebastian Coe in the release.
Last year, only one Russian athlete was permitted to compete in the 2016 Rio Olympics. Long jumper Darya Klishina (pictured above) finished ninth (6.63m) in the final.
Highlights of the list are here:
- Whether any coach, doctor or other support person with whom the applicant has worked has ever been implicated in the commission of any anti-doping rule violation(s).
- During the Relevant Period, how many samples (urine, blood and/or Athlete Biological Passport samples) have been collected from the applicant?
- Were there any times during the Relevant Period when the applicant was not subject to testing by the IAAF or any other national or international WADA-recognised Testing Authority?
- Where the applicant has provided samples for the purposes of drug-testing during the Relevant Period, have there been any atypical findings or concerns about the applicant's ABP profile, requiring further investigation?
- Whether any samples previously provided by the applicant are currently in storage and/or subject to re-testing.
