A second report compiled by an independent commission of World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) said on Thursday that the IAAF Council, which included Coe, "could not have been unaware of the extent of doping in athletics".

British star Radcliffe agrees Coe is the right man to save the sport's tattered reputation. "Yes, I absolutely do believe that. He is a strong person," Radcliffe told Sky News.
