Jones lost her three gold and two bronze medals from the Sydney Olympics after she pleaded guilty to lying to federal investigators about doping and about her role in a money-laundering scheme. She admitted to drug use in part of 1999 and 2000.
"She has to tell the athletes committee what happened and why," Diack said.
Sorry, Mr. Diack, I wouldn't wait for that.

No steeplechase
U.S. high hurdler Lori "Lolo" Jones wanted to straighten out the widely circulating story that she is going to race a horse after the Olympics.
"I actually did a spot for a casino that races horses and donated some money so my family could go to China," she said. "I guess because I was saying lines like, 'Yeah, that horse is fast, but can he hurdle?' that got turned into, 'Lolo's going to race a horse.'
"Lolo's not racing any horse. I've got enough problems with humans."
But if you change your mind and do race a horse, it's got to be over barriers, right?
"Got to give me some kind of help," she said.
