Athletics' world body on Monday led a withdrawal from a major international sports association after its leader launched a public attack on IOC chief Thomas Bach.
Controversy erupted at the Sport Accord convention in the Russian resort of Sochi after its leader Marius Vizer accused Bach of blocking his plans to set up multi-sport events.
The presidents of the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) and International Shooting Sports Federation (ISSF) gave immediate notice at the Sport Accord convention that they are leaving the group in protest Under Armour Shoes Clearance , officials said.
Athletics, shooting and 13 other federations, including soccer's FIFA Under Armour Mens Shoes For Sale , signed a letter condemning Vizer's remarks to the convention where Bach was a special guest, according to IOC sources.

"Mr President, stop blocking the Sport Accord strategy in its mission to identify and organize conventions and multi-sport games," he said.

"Do not interfere in the autonomy of the sport organizations," Vizer said Under Armour Curry Shoes For Sale , describing the IOC reforms as unfair to individual federations.
Bach, who has made IOC reforms and the new television a pillar of his presidency, was visibly taken aback by the attack.

He said other sports had made "constructive proposals which are ending up in even closer cooperation between the IOC and international federations."
Bach flatly rejected discussing any new model for the distribution of the IOC's multi-billion dollar revenues. "I have to very clearly say 'no.'"
The athletics and shooting federation presidents announced their intention to withdraw shortly after and a letter to Vizer was negotiated in the hours after.
