Over the years he has been able to introduce a considerable number of changes in the International Competition Rules.
In all his work in athletics his main purpose has been to try to improve and ensure the safety and the rights of the athletes, among other things by working for clear and unmistakably competition rules and anti-doping rules, so that they provide the greatest possible security for the athletes, but on the other hand, concerning the anti-doping rules, also ensures that athletes who violates the rules, do not escape punishment due to mistakes or shortcomings in procedures or the like.
