"The Court of Arbitration for Sport in Lausanne has ruled on a life ban for Sergei Portugalov," the federation said in a statement.
Portugal was found "guilty of violating several articles" of IAAF Anti-Doping Regulations, including the possession and dissemination of prohibited substances, it added.
The World Anti-Doping Agency (Wada) recommended in a 2015 report that Portugalov take no part in any state sports programme after he was found to have supplied athletes with banned performance-enhancing drugs.
CAS did not immediately confirm the ban.
Wada said Portugalov, who had served as the head of the Russian athletics federation's medical commission, was "very active in the conspiracy to cover up athletes' positive tests in exchange for a percentage of their winnings."
