Just a thought - how much is the IAAF president's salary? It has to be worth a minimum of €250-300k to be anywhere near a comparison with other international federations. In which case if that is close to the amount, and the new president allegedly made a shed load of cash from other business ventures, then why continue to take the $100k from Nike, when looking at what's public, shows a huge problem of a clash of interests when making decisions.

So, president of IAAF stays for years, receives no salary. They have to live on something. But you can't take money from anywhere that compromises neutrality. Track and field is awash with money, athletes can earn lots. Officials and administrators paid nothing? Something wrong. Which leaves a question, when the old fellow Diack was president for so long, if IAAF was paying nothing, who WAS paying him, because someone must have been. The whole edifice is very malodourous

There's probably something about "not biting the hand that feeds you" which would be fitting in these circumstances.

Did he renounce it or did it get too hot for NIke. I'm beginning to suspect Coe is a bit dim.

After Hein and Pat, Sepp and Jack, you'd think he'd have learned something by now. But he's working from the book of the discredited and is so far behind the game that it's hard to imagine him ever having won a race.
