Russia has been suspended since 2015 over widespread doping, though the IAAF allows dozens of Russians to compete as neutrals. In comments to Russian state news agency Tass, Isinbayeva says the IAAF "definitely" should reinstated Russia because "the criteria, the road-map points, which the (Russian) federation was issued have been completed."

The IAAF has expressed concern Russia could be backsliding on earlier commitments, such as enforcing bans on coaches involved with doping. IAAF President Sebastian Coe told The Associated Press on Sunday that Russia could "technically" be reinstated for the world championships in Qatar.

Isinbayeva won the 2004 and 2008 Olympic titles but missed the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Games because of the ban on the Russian team, before joining the IOC.
