Independent Athletics Integrity Unit to Launch

The IAAF have announced that a new independent Athletics Integrity Unit will launch in April 2017.

The unit was a key component of IAAF President Lord Coe’s reform programme which was approved at the organisation congress in November.

The IAAF is seeking job applications for the head of the integrity unit, and for three board member roles.

Coe said, “I am delighted that the planning for this is now well under way and will accelerate as we head towards the beginning of April 2017 when the unit is due to be operational. We’re now inviting individuals with the necessary skills and relevant experience for either the leadership role or board positions to register their interest.”
