This at a press conference in Birmingham, said the head of the working group of the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) Rune Andersen.

"The working group recommended that the council continue the suspension of VFLA (All-Russian Athletics Federation). The Council confirmed that the suspension of the VFLA was retained. If VFLA does not make progress before the next meeting of the IAAF council in July, sanctions will be discussed for VFLA, including a ban on the performance of Russian athletes in international tournaments as neutral athletes and recommendations for the exclusion of VFLA from the IAAF, "Andersen said..
