Coe cancels five-star apartment as IAAF reforms begin

MONACO (Reuters) - The global head of athletics, Sebastian Coe, has promised to do all he can to clean up the battered reputation of his sport and the organisation that runs it and has already made changes in the way the IAAF operates in Monaco.

At Thursday's council meeting Coe, president of the International Association of Athletics Federations since August, told his colleagues he had cancelled the annual contract which provided a permanent serviced apartment in the five-star Fairmont Hotel for the president's use.
