(FILES) -- A file photo taken on December 3, 2014 shows Britain's Lord Sebastian Coe attending a press conference to discuss his bid to become the next President of the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) in central London. Current IAAF president Sebastian Coe on November 8, 2015 expressed his "shock, anger and sadness" at the allegations of high-level bribery. Athletics is braced to be rocked on November 9, 2015 by a damning report into allegations of widespread doping and blackmail in a sport long-viewed as the flagship of the Olympic Games. Just 270 days out from the start of the 2016 Rio Olympics, an independent commission set up by the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) will release its findings into a scandal already viewed as more damaging than the corruption crisis engulfing world football governing body FIFA.
