(Reuters) - IAAF President Sebastian Coe must take action over the delay in presenting Jessica Ennis-Hill with her 2011 world championships gold medal, her former coach Toni Minichiello has said.

Briton Ennis-Hill, 31, was upgraded to a gold medal for the heptathlon event in 2011 after Russian winner Tatyana Chernova was stripped of her title in November for a doping violation.
