Lamine Diack resigns from IOC: statement

Shamed former IAAF president Lamine Diack has resigned from his position on the International Olympic Committee (IOC), where he had served as an honorary member, the IOC said Wednesday. The 82-year-old Diack, who is being probed over corruption charges, "has resigned from his position as an honorary member of the IOC," the organisation said in an email sent to AFP. Diack, the ex-head of athletics' governing body, had been provisionally suspended by the IOC on Tuesday evening.
