On August 16, Oslo hosted a meeting between President of the All-Russian Athletics Federation (VFLA) Dmitry Shlyakhtin and representatives of the IAAF working group Rune Anderson and Jonathan Taylor.

“The parties discussed the question of rechecking samples from the Moscow laboratory, which still remains central to the restoration of VFLA. The Athletics Integrity Unit (AIU), an independent IAAF anti-doping rule enforcement agency, is currently doing this, which is doing everything possible to complete this process before the September IAAF Council, ”the statement said on the official website of the VFLA.

The next IAAF meeting will be held on September 23, but which will consider the issue of restoring the status of the VFLA.
