The executive committee of Russia's suspended athletics federation resigns and transfers its authority to a working group designed to lift the organisation out of a 4-1/2-year doping crisis
A sign on display saying"Russian Federation of Athletics" is pictured in Moscow, Russia, November 23, 2019.
The federation was plunged into deeper crisis when its president and six other people were provisionally suspended last November for having provided false explanations and forged documents to justify three missed doping tests by high jumper Danil Lysenko. The federation said on Monday that its leadership was resigning and all responsibilities, including liaising with World Athletics, the AIU and other global organisations, was being transferred to a working group run by the Russian Olympic Committee.
