LONDON (Reuters) - The president of athletics' world governing body the IAAF has vowed to continue efforts to stop athletes switching nationality and competing under 'flags of convenience'.
Speaking ahead of the opening of the World Athletics championships in London, Sebastian Coe said that athletes needed to have a strong connection to the country they are representing, rather than looking around for nations to run for.
