Former FINA vice president convicted of incitement to murder

Media tycoon János Fenyő was gunned down in his car with a submachine gun fitted with a silencer in his car at a busy Budapest intersection on February 11, 1998. Now 74, Tamás Gyárfás was found guilty of "incitement to premeditated murder" by the Budapest Regional Court in the presence of heavy security.

During the trial in Budapest, the city to which World Aquatics is relocating its headquarters following an agreement with the Hungarian government, Gyárfás said he had "nothing to do'' with János Fenyő's death. He said the whole affair had "ruined" his life, according to AFP.

The murder shocked Hungary and the subsequent investigation traced the murder to hitman Jozef Roháč. In the trials that led to Rohac being jailed, he testified that Gyárfás had ordered the killing.

FIFA World Cup 2034 Saudi Arabia™

The news behind the news on the 2030 World Cup is that the 2034 World Cup will go to the sporting rogue state of Saudi Arabia and the chainsaw monster MBS. It sounds weird: FIFA does not act worse in awarding its mega-events than the IOC does with the Olympics, but comparatively transparently.

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.

World Triathlon corruption: a Greek fake federation, the fake medium "Sportsin", con artists, the co-conspirators Arimany, Yerolimpos, Druwé – and more of their lies and propaganda

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.
