• Coe in contention to be elected as IOC president
• Briton wants clearer rules on transgender competitors

Sebastian Coe has promised to introduce an “uncompromising and clearcut” policy to protect women’s sport and to look into awarding prize money to all Olympic medallists if he is elected International Olympic Committee (IOC) president.

In a clear sign that Coe intends to be the change candidate in next March’s election, the World Athletics president also promised to make the IOC more open and democratic, and to do more to harness the talents of the organisation’s membership.
