Diack gets 2 years鈥 jail
Print Edition
Former track federation president Lamine Diack was sentenced yesterday to two years in prison for his role in a scheme that allowed Russian athletes who paid hush money to keep competing when they should have been suspended for doping. The guilty verdict in a Paris court represented a spectacular fall from grace for the 87-year-old Diack, who was the powerful head of the International Amateur Athletics Federation from 1999-2015. The court also sentenced Diack to another two years of suspended jail time and fined him 500,000 euros (US$590,000). Diack was found guilty of multiple corruption charges and of breach of trust but acquitted of a money laundering charge. At Diack鈥檚 trial in June, prosecutors requested a four-year jail term and a 500,000-euro fine. Diack鈥檚 son, Papa Massata Diack, was also on trial. The former IAAF marketing consultant lives in Senegal and was tried in his absence, also on corruption, money laundering and breach of trust charges. Ahead of the verdict, Papa Massata Diack called the charges 鈥渢he biggest lie in the history of world sport.鈥
