New sponsor but Russia doping woes linger for re-elected Coe
Associated PressDOHA, Qatar — With a lucrative sponsorship deal to open his second term, Sebastian Coe has one hope for the next four years leading track and field. But this has to be under review.” The tough stance taken by Coe transformed perceptions of his willingness to confront Russia’s deception after the double Olympic 1,500-meter champion faced scrutiny over whether he knew earlier about the doping corruption than previously disclosed. “I want the next four years to be the fun bit,” said Coe, who succeeded now-disgraced Lamine Diack as IAAF president in 2015 after leading the 2012 London Olympics. We know we have to reach beyond the beltway of athletics fans.” A new commercial deal with the Wanda Group announced by Coe should help to achieve that mission, with the future of the Diamond League series safeguarded by the Chinese conglomerate gaining the title sponsorship from 2020.
