The IOC has requested the IAAF take action after a damning report into widespread doping was released.

The World Anti-Doping Agency independent commission report said Russia should be banned from athletics competition for running a "state-supported" doping programme.

It added that five Russian athletes and five coaches should be given life bans.

However, Kremlin has dismissed the accusations, describing them as "groundless".
