Nick Davies stepped aside from his role as IAAF Deputy General Secretary on Tuesday, saying his action would enable the IAAF's Ethics Board to be able to review his case properly. His relinquishing of his position, which could be temporary if he is proven innocent, comes after publication of a leaked email he sent in 2013 about doping in Russia. Davies denies having formulated a secret plan to delay the naming of Russian athletes who had tested positive for doping.
