MOSCOW (Pakistan Point News / Sputnik - 22nd November, 2019) Russian Athletics Federation (RusAF) President Dmitry Shlyakhtin, suspended by the Athletics Integrity Unit (AIU), said Thursday RusAF would hold a meeting of its presidium soon to discuss his resignation and the appointment of the federation's acting president.
The AIU said in a statement earlier in the day that Shlyakhtin and other senior officials had been suspended over the case of high-jumper Danil Lysenko.
"In the very near future, the RusAF presidium will hold a meeting. Then answers to all questions regarding my resignation and the acting president of the organization will be voiced," RusAF quoted Shlyakhtin as saying.
