International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) president
Seb Coe has accused Nestle of 'hypocrisy' after the food and beverage
giant decided to end its sponsorship of the athletics governing body.
Speaking to BBC Sport, Coe said he didn't understand the Swiss
company's decision after they stick with the Tour de France despite the
doping problems in cycling at the time.
"We were left confused and angry. I didn't understand the rationale behind it," the Briton told BBC Sport.
"Clearly
it wasn't a decision made about reputation because, since 2001, they've
been the global partner to the Tour de France and renewed at a moment
when cycling was in its worst position around doping.
"We felt this was hypocritical."
He added that the IAAF would not accept Nestle's decision.
