MOSCOW - Russia's athletics federation on Tuesday sent a letter to the world athletics body, asking them to delay a planned review after it failed to pay a doping fine.
This has been a looming threat following the failure by Rusaf to pay half of a US$10 million fine by July 1, part of a set of sanctions for breaching anti-doping rules. It promised the federation is committed to"overcome the crisis" with crucial reforms and noted that"the entire Rusaf platform should be revised to become a trusted ally of World Athletics.""The external financial assistance Rusaf expected to receive has not been secured" by the deadline, it said in the letter the federation shared with AFP.
