According to the statement, AIU sees no reason to resume issuing permits to Russians to act in neutral status. In addition, the organization believes that it is necessary to take into account the complete absence of remorse on the Russian side, which influenced the repetition of the situation.
In this regard, AIU proposes to apply strict sanctions, up to the complete exclusion of VFLA from World Athletics.
On November 21, AIU temporarily suspended VFLA President Dmitry Shlyakhtin and four other organization employees. They are accused of assisting in the falsification of documents that a high jumper Danil Lysenko provided to explain the missing doping test.
Earlier it was reported that the doctor of the Russian national football team announced his desire to head the VFLA.
