Ethics complaint against the IWF president: "Elections were not free, it was more like a selection by a few people, mainly by Mr. Jalood"

The Winter Olympic Federations (WOF) and ASOIF's Council are meeting today in Lausanne. The elections of several IF presidents were recently marred by irregularities and corruption. Tomorrow, one of the beneficiaries, weightlifting president Mohammed Jalood, wants to be elected to the ASOIF Council.

From a complaint lodged by IWF officials with the IOC Ethics Commission.

Of course, Kirsty Coventry and Thomas Bach will be present tomorrow at the Hotel Royal Savoy, where the General Assembly of the Association of Summer Olympic International Federations (ASOIF) traditionally meets. The first word will be given by ASOIF president Ingmar De Vos, IOC member and president of the Fédération Équestre Internationale (FEI).

Then the outgoing IOC president Bach and his chosen successor Coventry will speak – in that order. Bach was recently in Doha, where he is said to have heard confidential reports about dubious goings-on in the run-up to the ITTF election congress. He is said to have been approached about this not only by ITTF president Petra Sörling. Sörling won this election under turbulent circumstances and was ultimately glad to escape unscathed from the hell of Doha and the raging mob of election losers.

Day of shame: aggression in Doha, Qatari officials and their ITTF allies contest Petra Sörling’s election and threaten delegates
With the narrowest possible result of 104:102 votes, IOC member Petra Sörling from Sweden won the election in the International Table Tennis Federation (ITTF) against Khalil Al-Mohannadi from Qatar. For now. The Congress has been suspended. Qatar and its allies will take the matter to court.

If my information is reliable, as it usually is, then some serious discussions including IOC officials may have ensured that Sörling won by the narrowest of margins (104:102), shocking those who had firmly expected victory and invested so much in it. Hence the uproar. More on this shortly.

Individual Bundle SPORT & POLITICS and THE INQUISITOR

On Wednesday, at the 49th ASOIF General Assembly, item 14 on the agenda will once again deal with good governance and the sixth ASOIF report on the subject. The problem with these reports is that they are largely based on self-reported information from the Olympic federations (IF), rather than on hard-hitting research or even official investigations, as would be necessary in quite a few ASOIF member federations.

If this were not the case, officials such as Husain Al-Musallam, president of World Aquatics and one of the most corrupt sports officials on the planet, would hardly be able to hold numerous honorary positions and vote at the ASOIF General Assembly. If this were not the case, fake presidents such as Antonio Arimany (World Triathlon), Rob Stull (UIPM), apparently corrupt figures such as Tayyab Ikram (FIH, field hockey) and many others would have no place at the ASOIF General Assembly.

I have reported exclusively on this in dozens of articles over the past few months and, among other things, documented election manipulation with numerous documents and witness statements:

New corruption allegations against World Aquatics president Husain Al-Musallam
Is he the most corrupt official on the planet? He distributed bribes using funds from OCA and ANOC. He supported Kirsty Coventry’s election as IOC president. This weekend, he is hosting OCA’s GA. He is trying to save himself by negotiating the 2036 and subsequent Olympics between Qatar and India.

Table tennis elections: when the handcuffs click
Presidents of the ITTF and IWF are being elected in Doha and Riyadh these days. In Qatar, president Petra Sörling, an IOC member, must hold her own against host Khalil Al-Mohannadi. An official who once caused difficulties for the Qatari had been arrested and threatened with several years in prison.

Mafia culture in World Triathlon covered by the Olympic family through inaction
The fake elections have so far no consequences for those who organised the swindle and are its biggest beneficiaries. There are calls for new elections while the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS), of which fake Triathlon boss Antonio Arimany is Vice President, endorses the scam by inaction. Q&A.
THE INQUISITORJens Weinreich
“Due to bribery”: the questionable background of ITTF presidential candidate Khalil Al-Mohannadi
Are five-figure sums and value-in-kind promises being offered for votes at the International Table Tennis Federation (ITTF) election congress in Doha? Whistleblowers are said to have informed ITTF’s Integrity Unit. A preliminary investigation is apparently underway. Elections take place on Tuesday.

Ethics complaint against UIPM monarch Schormann for “acting corruptly” and improper influence on “the result of any UIPM election”
Part II: For months, an explosive ethics complaint has been filed against the UIPM president, which is receiving special treatment and being kept secret. This casts the strange events surrounding treasurer John Helmick in Paris in a new light and could have been an act of perfidious revenge.

New witnesses and chat protocols on World Triathlon scam: “the whole election was rigged!”
Before I turn your attention to another Olympic IF scandal (stay tuned) and report on ANOC’s General Assembly in Portugal this week, I don’t want to withhold some developments on the obvious election fraud at World Triathlon – with ICAS vice president Antonio Arimany in the center of the conspiracy.

Is Hockey president Tayyab Ikram collecting hundreds of thousands of dollars in illegal commissions from the Olympic Solidarity fund?
The corruption allegations against the president of the Fédération Internationale de Hockey (FIH) are serious and bizarre. The case affects not only the FIH, but also OCA, as well as the IOC’s core business: Olympic Solidarity. And here, as with several other IFs, the IOC is not taking action.

The darling of Shiny and Lying Klaus, who lost 50:51 and still became UIPM president
Modern Pentathlon has the boss it deserves, after a strange election that fits the location of Riyadh perfectly: US-American Robert Stull, previously known for some dubious business practices, was “elected” president with the support of SG Shiny Fang and Frequent Traveller Monarch Klaus Schormann.

If things were done correctly in Olympic sport and at the congresses of Olympic IFs, then Mohammed Jalood, president of the International Weightlifting Federation (IWF), who has been residing in Doha for many years, would not be standing for election to the ASOIF Council on Wednesday.

But who knows, maybe Jahood will withdraw his candidacy right after the publication of this newsletter.

Or he is counting on finding enough supporters for himself and his machinations among the ASOIF crowd: Husain Al-Musallam, Sheikh Saud Ali Al Thani (FIBA), Gianni Infantino (FIFA), Hassan Moustafa (IHF), the fake presidents Arimany and Stull ... for example. That would be half the battle.

In any case, four seats on the ASOIF Council are up for grabs (three for the period 2025-2029, one for 2025-2027) – there have been seven applicants so far.

  • Mohammed Jalood (Iraq, Qatar), president of the International Weightlifting Federation (IWF)
  • Thomas Konietzko (Germany), president of the International Canoe Federation (ICF)
  • Nenad Lalovic (Serbia, IOC), president of United World Wrestling (UWW)
  • Ximena Restrepo (Chile), Senior Vice President of World Athletics, soon to be Sebastian Coe's successor at WA
  • Jean-Christophe Rolland (France, IOC), president of World Rowing
  • Marco Maria Scolaris (Italy), president of the International Federation of Sport Climbing (IFSC)
  • Andreas Zagklis (Greece), Secretary General of the International Basketball Federation (FIBA)

I already told you a bit about the fake IWF elections in Riyadh back in May. Unfortunately, the details got a bit lost in the shuffle of other events...

... It's a shame, because I had already shown you the election results distributed in advance, as was once the case in World Triathlon under fake president Arimany, in this article:

IWF congress, Riyadh, May 2025

If I am correctly informed, this and some other evidence has now been forwarded to the IOC Ethics Commission.

You know that, for well-documented reasons, I do not think much of the work of Pâquerette Girard Zappelli as IOC Ethics and Compliance Officer. Pâquerette, an Olympic millionaire, is part of the problem, not part of the solution.

But let's put such concerns aside for a moment: who else should delegates turn to?

These are some of the allegations that were submitted to the IOC Ethics Commission regarding the IWF Congress in Riyadh and the machinations of president Mohammed Jalood:
