The Russian Athletics Federation (RusAF) has not lost its sense of priorities. She unveiled the rules and procedure for athletes wishing to obtain neutrality status to participate in international competitions. Surprise: candidates for eligibility will have to put their hands in their pockets. The file to be submitted to World Athletics will be free for athletes aged under 18, but others will have to pay, respectively 100 dollars for those under 20 and 250 dollars for others. According to Yevgeny Yurchenko, the president of RusAF, discussions are still ongoing with World Athletics on the quota of neutral athletes at the Tokyo 2020 Games. It was established last March by the international federation at a maximum of 10. “ The limit of 10 athletes obviously does not suit us at all, and it is a subject of discussion with World Athletics., admitted Yevgeny Yurchenko.
