The governing body of world athletics has promised to double the anti-doping budget as part of a 10-point road map to restore trust in the sport.

The measures include increasing the anti-doping budget to 11.2-million dollars, doubling the international testing pool of athletes to one-thousand and establishing a separate integrity unit for track and field.

The sport was plunged into crisis late last year after an initial report by the World Anti-Doping Agency detailed systematic, state-sponsored doping in Russia.

The IAAF itself has also been beset by corruption allegations over the taking of bribes to cover up doping.
