MONACO (AP) — The IAAF council is expected to rule on the fate of Russian track and field at its next meeting in June.
The IAAF said in a statement on Thursday that its council will be convened on June 17 in Vienna, Austria, for a full-day meeting.
Russia remains banned from international track and field, including the Olympics, after the country’s athletics federation was suspended by the IAAF in November following allegations of state-sponsored and systematic doping made by a World Anti-Doping Agency panel.
The Russian anti-doping agency has also been suspended from conducting any testing in the wake of the scandal, with Britain’s UKAD now conducting most of the tests in Russia.
