Yuri Borzakovsky will move to the position of Russian Athletics Federation (RusAF) sports director, effective from tomorrow, with acting President Irina Privalova taking over the head coach position on an interim basis.

The restoration of the Authorised Neutral Athlete (ANA) scheme - which allows Russian competitors who meet anti-doping criteria to take part at international events but not under the national flag - will be one of the key areas of discussion at the World Athletics Council meeting that starts tomorrow.

Four-time Olympic medallist Irina Privalova is to stand for the Russian Athletics Federation (RusAF) Presidency later this month.

The Russian Athletics Federation (RusAF) has asked World Athletics to treat its non-payment of a fine as an issue separate from the reinstatement process of the governing body, ahead of a two-day World Athletics Council meeting where RusAF could be expelled.
