The Athletics Integrity Unit and the US Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) have both said they are investigating the claims. We are presently co-ordinating with the Athletics Integrity Unit in order to investigate these claims fully." The Telegraph quoted International Association of Athletics Federations president Seb Coe as saying: "These allegations are extremely serious and I know the independent Athletics Integrity Unit will investigate in accordance with its mandate."
