DAKAR: Disgraced former world athletics head Lamine Diack returned home to Senegal late on Monday after a local football club paid a bond of just over $600,000 to allow him to leave France.
Diack, the president of world athletics from 1999 to 2015, was convicted in Paris in September on multiple charges of corruption during his tenure, some of it related to the Russian doping scandal. He was sentenced to four years in prison, with two of those years suspended.
But French justice authorities said Diack, who is 87, was unlikely to spend any time in jail because of his age. He had been under house arrest in France since 2015.
