The Diack Doping Case.

Recently an appeal trial has started in Paris involving the son of the former head of World athletics, Papa Massata Diack. According to Reuters, Diack was convicted on charges relating to kickbacks from Russian athletes in return for hiding their positive drug tests. He was sentenced to five years in prison and was fined €1 million. He is also facing similar legal issues in his native Senegal. This trial is ongoing, and I will update as more information becomes available.
