On the eve of this week’s two-day IAAF Council meeting here, the IAAF President Sebastian Coe said: "We must stand tall for clean athletes. 

"The future of our sport relies on the entire athletics community doing everything it can to oppose cheating. 

"This easily accessible but secure Report Doping portal gives us all the means to play our part.

"Even the smallest piece of information could be vital in helping to protect the integrity of competition and a level playing field."

An IAAF release added: "The message is clear. 

"If you know something about doping in athletics, the IAAF wants to hear any information that you might have, such as:

•Evidence or suspicions of doping

•Knowledge of coaches and support personnel encouraging doping

•Trafficking of prohibited substances

• New doping products

"Every piece of information, no matter how small, is important and may be crucial in uncovering doping. 

"The more information you provide, the more likely it is that your information can be successfully followed up."
