The International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) was again forced to defend its actions over Russian doping on Monday after a leaked email showed how officials planned a damage-limitation strategy before the 2013 Moscow world championships.
When information concerning alleged corruption was brought to my attention in early 2014, I was one of a number of IAAF staff members who referred the matter to the IAAF Ethics Commission and who have assisted in the resulting investigation by the Commission.

"Gen. Cameron's history is one of romantic interest, which cannot fail to arrest popular attention and arouse popular enthusiasm. -- There is much in the varied incidents making up the life of the poor Printer boy, who clambers the ladder of moral and intellectual excellence from his humble calling to so giddy a height in the galaxy of Senators and statesmen that the Presidency itself is probably within his reach, which goes directly to every emotional heart, exciting a generous and growing interest in the progress of the lonely and hardy adventurer. There has been nothing in Gen. Cameron's success to remove him from the people. When seated with Senators he is as emphatically a man of the people as he was when he entered on man's estate. Himself a laborer, he early learned [t]o appreciate the dignity of free labor, and there is no man living who champions for it with more sympathetic feeling and more devotion. Both in the Senate and in the walks of private life he has defended it with a beautiful consistency, sustaining a protective tariff on the one hand to rescue our industry and arts from the competition of the pauper labor of Europe, and on the other resisting all encroachments of the South upon free Territories which were calculated to degrade and diminish the profits of free labor by the introduction of slave labor. During our war with Mexico, too, most of the leading measures of the Senate, intended to imbue our common soldiers with true soldierly principles, and to elevate their condition, originated with Gen. Cameron. And here let us say that Gen. Cameron possesses in an eminent degree that high courage which we all love to see displayed, when there is a necessity for it, either in the defence [sic] of one's honor or person. On more than one occasion he has shown that dauntless disregard of personal danger that has illustrated every page of our country's history with the names of heroes in good old Pennsylvania born. Let us all join, then in hearty, determined, preserving efforts for the poor Printer boy, the brave, good man of the people, the soldier's friend, the enlightened and patriotic statesman, Gen. Simon Cameron."
Those honest tax payers who still remain in the ranks of the sham Democracy, because their fathers, many long years since, belonged to a genuine Democracy, and who were actuated by their party leaders to oppose the sale of the State Works, will soon be able to see for themselves, by the difference in the amount of their taxation -- which, after all, is the surest way of teaching the hard-working thonsands [sic] the wisdom of those laws -- who are their true friends; the canting, hypocritical locofocos who pretended that our dear old State would suffer loss by parting with her great thoroughfares, but whose policy was adding steadily to their already almost unbearable weight of taxes; or the honest advocates of measures for disposing of these pecuniary sinks of corruption and profligacy, whose accomplishment has produced such glorious results, already. 2ff7e9595c
