International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) senior vice-president Sergey Bubka has been cleared of wrongdoing by the Athletics Integrity Unit (AIU) following newspaper reports concerning links of a financial relationship with officials at the centre of doping and corruption scandals.
French newspaper Le Monde reported in September 2017 that Bubka made a payment of $45,000 (£35,000/€39,000) on June 18 in 2009 to New Mills Investments Ltd, a Nevis-based company linked to former IAAF treasurer and ex-Russian Athletics Federation President Valentin Balakhnichev.
