Michael Dugher MP, Labour’s Shadow Culture, Media and Sport Secretary, commenting ahead of the IAAF council meeting on Friday to discuss the recent Wada report, said: 

“Seb Coe and the International Association of Athletics Federations council must now do the right thing and suspend Russian athletics from all competitions until they can show they have cleaned up their act. 

“The devastating report by the World Anti-Doping Agency included allegations of state-sponsored doping and corruption and bribery practices.  It is clear that Russian track and field athletes should not be allowed to compete, including in next year’s Olympics, until there has been a full investigation and the Russians have proved that they are compliant with Wada’s code. 

“Failure to act decisively would put the reputation of world athletics in grave peril.”
