MONTE CARLO (AFP): Jailed Indonesian athletics official Mohammad 'Bob' Hasan has formally withdrawn from forthcoming International Amateur Athletic Federation elections, the body announced Friday.

Hasan - a crony of former Indonesian dictator President Suharto - was jailed for six years earlier this year after being found guilty of corruption charges.

As president of the Indonesian Athletics Federation he had been hoping to run in the IAAF's Congress elections and had already been proposed for a place on the council.
