In November, WADA ruled against the reinstatement of RUSADA as it considered Russia was still not compliant with the international anti-doping code.

"The Taskforce thinks it's vital, because unless there is an acknowledgement of what happened before, there can be no assurance that it will not happen again.

"Therefore, the Taskforce recommended to the IAAF Council that RusAF not be reinstated at this time. The Council unanimously accepted the recommendation," said Andersen.

Following the IAAF Council's decision, it remained unclear that Russian athletes have the possibility of featuring on the 2018 World Indoor Championships in Birmingham.

"We have unanimously on every occasion endorsed the recommendations of the Taskforce, and we will continue to do that. Under the right circumstances that they fully met criteria that we put in agreement with RusAF, we have that reinstatement in place for Russian athletes to resume their places in international sport," commented IAAF President Sebastian Coe.
