Coe says will be 'tough' on athletes seeking nationality switch

World Athletics president Sebastian Coe stated he will remain 'tough' on athletes switching nationality after his federation blocked requests from Jamaicans and Kenyans to move to Turkey. Coe emphasized the importance of maintaining a connection between the country where an athlete starts their career and where they finish. He noted that requests for nationality changes would be reviewed, but Turkey's financial offers to attract elite athletes would always be rejected.
