Following the decision made today by the IOC to allow individual sporting governing bodies to decide if Russian competitors can take part in the Rio 2016 Olympic Games, the IAAF – as the first sports federation to have been through this course of action – is ready to offer assistance to other international federations going through this process.

IAAF President Sebastian Coe said: "We have created and been through the process. We know how hard it is emotionally and rationally to get the process right. I have offered the help of the IAAF team to ASOIF and we continue to stand by to assist and offer advice to any international sports federations."
