The Russian Olympic Committee promised Saturday to lead efforts to reform the country's scandal-hit athletics federation as the country faces possible exclusion from Olympic track and field. Russia was suspended by a 22-1 vote Friday by the governing council of the IAAF, track and field's governing body, four days after a World Anti-Doping Agency report accused the country of operating a vast state-sponsored doping program. ''The Russian Olympic Committee is ready to take the initiative on reforming (the Russian athletics federation), in accordance with IAAF requirements and anti-doping legislation,'' ROC president Alexander Zhukov said in a statement.
