Sebastian Coe reacts after winning the IAAF presidential elections yesterday 

Coe pipped Ukraine's Sergey Bubka 115-92 in the vote at the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) Congress in Beijing, but he has a tough task ahead of him. With a series of doping controversies at the top of Coe's agenda when he takes office after the August 22-30 World Championships in Beijing, the Briton said he and his new team would be "vigilant" in their crusade against cheats.
