Seb Coe, Nick DaviesLONDON (AP) — The director of IAAF President Sebastian Coe‘s office temporarily stepped down on Tuesday pending an ethics investigation into emails linked to Russian doping cases.
Emails sent by Nick Davies, leaked to a French newspaper and published this week, indicated that he tried to delay public identification of alleged Russian drug cheats ahead of the 2013 World Track and Field Championships in Moscow.
“I have decided to step aside from my role with the IAAF until such time as the ethics board is able to review the matter properly and decide if I am responsible for any breach of the IAAF code of ethics,” Davies said in a statement Tuesday.
