(Reuters) - The world governing body of athletics (IAAF) has announced the five-person inspection team which will monitor the clean-up process in Russia, which has been suspended from the sport over widespread, state-sponsored doping.

Russia was barred on Friday after a World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) report accused its state security services of colluding with the country's athletics federation (ARAF) to enable athletes to take performance-enhancing drugs with confidence that test results would be suppressed.
