IAAF: 'Medal redistribution would be a farce'

International Association of Athletics Federations president Lamine Diack dismisses suggestions that medals will be redistributed following recent claims of doping.

The president of the International Association of Athletics Federations has claimed that it would be a "farce" for Olympic and World Championship medals to be redistributed in the wake of fresh doping allegations.

At the weekend, it was revealed that files belonging to the IAAF containing 12,000 blood tests from 5,000 athletes between 2001 and 2012 had been leaked by a whisteblower.

More than 800 athletes are believed to have recorded blood tests that are highly suggestive of doping, with 10 medals at the London Olympics won by those with dubious test results.

"There is a film and a newspaper who are asking questions," IAAF president Lamine Diack told reporters at an International Olympic Committee meeting.

"We are going to answer them all. But it's not (just) because someone has a suspicious profile once that he was doped. When people say that there are medals to be redistributed from 2001 to 2012, it's just a farce."

Usain Bolt and Mo Farah are two of the athletes included in the files who recorded no abnormal results.
