IAAF Announcement
Date: Friday 04 August 2017
The IAAF has issued the following statement from CEO Wendy Williamson.
"It is with much regret that I have to announce that Andy Savva has stepped down as vice-president of the IAAF.
"Following the sale of his garage business last year, Andy has started a new career as an automotive consultant and has since been inundated with work and new business opportunities. ,
"This has resulted in Andy feeling that he could not dedicate the time needed towards his forthcoming role as President of the IAAF, to be undertaken from 2018 onwards.
"While I am naturally disappointed, I&rsquo,m also delighted that his new career has taken off so quickly and wish him all the very best for the future. We will look to appoint a successor over the coming weeks and notify members accordingly."
