	Official IAAF Decision on "nandrolone case" in 2000
		In the interests of information and transparency, the IAAF has decided to release the full text of the decision of the IAAF Arbitration Panel, which under the terms of the IAAF Constitution is final and binding on all parties.
		The alleged improper contact between IAAF and the athlete has no relevance to the issue of the admissibility and under Rule 55.11 it casts no doubt as to the reliability of the finding that a prohibited substance may be present in a sample.
		In any event, the IAAF failed to discharge its burden of proving, beyond reasonable doubt, that for the 19-NA reading to be at 15ng/ml, the time for the determination of the specific gravity had to be the time of the laboratory testing and not at the time of voiding.

	No way Gatlin will avoid life ban if guilty: IAAF official - Boston.com
		IAAF general secretary Pierre Weiss, speaking on the sidelines of a news conference to open the world junior championships, said any work American Gatlin's lawyers did to prove there were special circumstances would be in vain.

	IAAF 'hot on heels' of doping cheats
		IAAF vice-president Arne Ljungvist used the final speech to challenge those who argue that sports administrators are losing the war against doping.
		In Lausanne, IAAF council member Abby Hoffman said a general consensus seemed to have been found at the symposium on several issues.
		Better and less onerous systems for dealing with missed out-of-competition tests, higher quality control standards in the testing system itself, an effective pursuit of non-athletes who promote doping and stronger co-operation with civil authorities were all areas in which Hoffman felt the organisation still had to improve.

	Today in Sport: Richardson case higlights IAAF problem \| Athletics \| Other Sports \| Sport \| Telegraph
		The IAAF's leniency comes after Richardson agreed to give up fighting the case and take part in what is being called "a series of educational activities" designed to warn others about the dangers of using nutritional supplements.
		The IAAF have been warning athletes about supplements since early 1999, when Britain's Dougie Walker, Linford Christie and Gary Cadogan put nandrolone in the public domain.
		Given that the IAAF's rule on strict liability leaves little room for mitigating circumstances, it was always assumed that Richardson faced a ban.

	Uproar after IAAF amends Justin time - Sport - smh.com.au
		The IAAF said Gatlin's time of 9.766 seconds was incorrectly rounded down to 9.76s when it should have been rounded up to 9.77s.

	IAAF ACADEMY
		The IAAF's main service to the coaching community, the Coaches Education and Certification System (CECS), was launched in 1991 and since then thousands of coaches have received valuable training through a high quality curriculum and materials, trained lecturers and a standard evaluation and certification process.
		Research carried out for the IAAF in 1995-1997 showed that more than 60% of the coaches who had participated in the CECS Level I were dissatisfied with the ongoing support they had received after their course from IAAF and non-IAAF sources.
		To ensure the survival of the associations without the IAAF simply paying for their operation, it has been seen as necessary to help them integrate their activities with each other and with IAAF programmes to provide attractive, valuable support services for coaches.
