KUALA LUMPUR – The International Association of Athletics Federations said today that Khaleda Zaman will not be suspended, despite two individuals claiming she was suspended from the IAAF. The IAAF said yesterday it had investigated a report that Khaleda Zaman was suspended from the world governing body, but found no evidence of wrongdoing. “The two individuals who claimed to have been informed of this by the Athletics Federation of Bangladesh (AFB) were not authorised to do so, and neither the AFB nor the IAAF can confirm the suspension of Khaleda Zaman. The IAAF is therefore unable to comment on the matter.” The IAAF also said that no statement had been made to the media. The AFP reported that this has led to mass confusion among the media.
