CAS confirms corruption in World Triathlon elections

EXCLUSIVE: The head of the American confederation, Liber García (Uruguay), rigged elections with other continental princes and the then secretary general Antonio Arimany. The new triathlon boss Arimany is also ICAS vice president. An opposition is calling for an investigation and new elections.

"Sport governance must not become theatre, where ethical breaches are acknowledged but not acted on. We have the ruling. We have the facts. Now we need the action.
Let this be the moment we all say: enough."
Michelle Cooper

The first word naturally goes to Michelle Cooper from Brisbane, who has been involved in triathlon on a voluntary basis for many years and was a board member of World Triathlon from 2020 to 2024. Last year, Michelle Cooper ran for the presidency of this Olympic IF. The faction that rules World Triathlon, which calls itself either The Team or The Group, quickly made it clear to her through Liber García that there was only one way forward: do as she was told. Withdraw her candidacy and run for the position of vice president instead.

The Group would ensure that she was elected to this office because they had the necessary votes and power.

Liber García even put this in writing, via WhatsApp. This is what it looked like at the time:

Transylvania and the World Triathlon Congress: Saint Antonio and his co-conspirators take action against whistleblowers and heretics

The gathering in Wollongong resembled the worst congresses we have seen in recent decades in terms of serious corruption cases (FIFA, FIVB, IWF et al). Investigation attempts were rigorously suppressed. Only SIX national federations worldwide are on the side of those seeking clarification.

The World Triathlon Congress will meet next week, one year after the fake elections in which ICAS vice-president Antonio Arimany predetermined the election results, and has since served as fake president – supported by IOC honorary member Marisol Casado. Arimany & Co continue to distort the truth.

Another explosive complaint against ICAS vice-president and World Triathlon president Antonio Arimany for corruption, bribery, collusion and manipulation

Canadian Peter McCrory presents extensive evidence of the rigged elections at the 2024 Congress. He calls for the election to be annulled and for the immediate suspension and bans of Antonio Arimany (4 years), Líber Garcia (10 years) and Antonio Alvarez (4 years), another conspirator of The Group.

Marita Koch: on a fabulous world record, privileges in the wonderland of sport, doping and an Olympic web of lies that continues to have an impact

It is the second oldest world record in athletics. Forty years ago today, Marita Koch, honored several times as ‘World Sportswoman’, ran the 400 metres in 47.60 seconds at the World Cup in Canberra: a symbol and product of the East German state doping system. A long read on two sides of the medal.
