ED WARNER, chairman of UK Athletics, says Russia should not be allowed to return to the sport until they have “robust anti-doping measures in place”.
He said the IAAF’s decision “will allow more time for the authorities to ensure that systems are in place to protect all clean athletes who are playing by the rules.”
He added: “As one of very few truly global sports, we look forward to a time that Russia can return to competition. Once a robust antidoping structure is in place, its athletes will be welcome again.
