Russia moves closer to getting track and field ban lifted as World Athletics approves plan for doping reforms

Firstpost  

Monaco: Russia moved a step closer to having its longstanding suspension from track and field lifted after a new plan of doping reforms was approved Monday by World Athletics. “The root causes of an extensive doping and covering-up culture involving athletes, coaches and officials arose from inheriting a post-Soviet doping culture aimed at winning by all means including doping.” World Athletics hasn’t set a date to fully readmit the Russian track federation, which is known as RusAF and has been suspended since 2015. “This is not the end but the beginning of a long journey, with an incredible amount of work for RusAF to do to rebuild trust," World Athletics president Sebastian Coe said. World Athletics said its council will discuss on 17 and 18 March whether to restart issuing exemptions so individual athletes can compete at international events as “authorised neutral athletes.” World Athletics also has a limit of 10 athletes on any Russian track team for major events like the Olympics, far smaller than usual.
