The IAAF's current president is Lamine Diack of Senegal. He became Acting President shortly after the death of the previous president, Primo Nebiolo of Italy, in November 1999.

In any event, the IAAF failed to discharge its burden of proving, beyond reasonable doubt, that for the 19-NA reading to be at 15ng/ml, the time for the determination of the specific gravity had to be the time of the laboratory testing and not at the time of voiding.
