Russia will miss August’s World Athletics Championships in London after their doping ban was extended on Monday, world governing body president Sebastian Coe said.Coe said Russia, whose 15-month ban from athletics was prolonged at the IAAF’s Council meeting in Cap d’Ail near Monaco, could not be reintegrated into the sport before November.Double Olympic 1500-metre champion Coe was speaking after the IAAF Council approved the Taskforce’s recommendation that Russia was “not ready for reinstatement”.Russia has been barred from international competition since November 2015 following a damaging report alleging that state-sponsored doping was rife in the country.The ban had already been extended in March and then June 2016, preventing Russia’s athletes from competing at the Rio Olympics.
