MONACO (Reuters) - IAAF officials will face the media at the Fairmont Hotel on Thursday but they are ensuring the world's press don't get ideas above their station by allowing them in via an exhaust-fume-filled, dark concrete road tunnel.

The Tunnel Louis II might make good TV viewing when F1 cars scream through it in the Monaco Grand Prix but it is less appealing to pedestrians.
