Dear President,
On behalf of the International Association of Athletics Federations – which has 210 members in every corner of the world – I would like to send our most sincere condolences at the shocking and evil attacks on US soil yesterday.
Our sport of track and field athletics is based on the principle of friendly and peaceful competition and tolerates no discrimination based on sex, or race or religion. Cold hearted, brutal terrorism is an affront to all civilised behaviour and cannot be tolerated.
Our prayers are with the victims and their loved ones and we hope that your great nation will find the strength, and faith, to recover from this blow.
Yours sincerely,
Lamine Diack
President of the International Association of Athletics Federations
