The Senegalese is suspected of turning a blind eye to doping cases, notably involving Russian athletes, in exchange for money. Investigators also suspect him of making cash payments totalling 140,000 euros (USD 152,000) to Gabriel Dolle, a doctor for the IAAF until last year who has also been charged with corruption, the source said.
