The former IAAF anti-doping chief Gabriel Dolle will also be there, accused of "receiving bribes" amounting to 190,000 euros. Missing from the trial, however, will be Diack's son Papa Massata Diack, who handled lucrative contracts for the IAAF. Papa Massata Diack has been holed up in his native Senegal, out of reach of the French authorities. Despite being reinstated by other sports federations, Russia is still banned from competing as a nation by World Athletics. Alexei Melnikov, formerly Russia's chief distance running coach, is accused of "receiving bribes".
