A Senegalese man in a position of power being corrupt (allegedly). Shocked, shocked I tell you! LOL
"The 82-year-old Senegalese, an honorary member of the International Olympic Committee (IOC), is accused of taking money from Russia to hide positive doping tests"
What's Coe got to say about the depth of the Ruskie's doping ?
Will he be backtracking on his B.S.
Coe:
"Coe met Russia's Sports Minister Vitaly Mutko and Olympic leaders on his first visit to the country as International Association of Athletics Federations president and said he had seen "a real appetite for change."
Let's face it, these guys are all crooks and so is Coe. He knows the whole organization is a fraud and hes continuing the tradition. Coe won't be stupid like these fools and actually get caught. He will manipulate the system to no end and keep that cheater Radcliffe safe too. Its sad a bunch of criminals run our sport that's full of grey-area criminals (dopers).
I'm shocked!...shocked....
Anti-doping is 90% window-dressing and spin
The reality is that doping will remain prevalent at the elite level
I had been told something big was going to happen but thought it would only get Diack's son, not the man himself.

Good post. I started laughing when I saw your post.
That being said, Senegal is only the 42nd most corrupt country in the world.

Apparently this is coming as the result of WADA's and the IAAF ethic commission's independent investigation that was started last year in the wake of the German doping documentaries. Diack has been accused of covering up Russian doping (possibly specifically for Liliya Shobukhova) and money-laundering.
Besides Diack, his legal adviser, Habib Cisse, is also under investigation and IAAF's former anti-doping director Gabriel Dolle, has been arrested.
The IAAF's headquarters in Monaco was raided by French police and they seized documents and conducted interviews. An IAAF statement reads:
"The IAAF confirms that, emanating from separate ongoing investigations by WADA's independent commission and the IAAF's own independent Ethics Commission into allegations surrounding its anti-doping rules and regulations, a French police investigation has now commenced."
"The IAAF is fully cooperating with all investigations as it has been from the beginning of the process.
"As part of the French investigation, police visited the IAAF HQ offices yesterday to carry out interviews and to access documentation."

Perhaps some of the tinhat brigade around here were more perceptive than some of us gave them credit for!
LetsRun.com Update: The IAAF has issued the following statement in response

I'd like to think you are right, but such a complete overturning of the upper echelon seems unlikely. Coe has managed to keep his Nike contract despite the obvious conflict of interest.
Lamine Diack to our sport?
Rearrange the letters in his name: I @nal dick em
Now it's easy to guess how somebody like el guerrouj can be protected all those years
I'd like to see the money trail from the morrocans to diack
Crooks. All crooks. It's just like FIFA, but to a minor extent because the sport is smaller.
from IAAF release "As part of the French investigation, police visited the IAAF HQ offices yesterday to carry out interviews and to access documentation."
Sounds so much softer than "raided the offices".
