ITTF Tribunal dismisses appeal by Khalil Al-Mohannadi and QTTA and declares May 2025 election lawful

As expected, Swede Petra Sörling remains ITTF President (and IOC member ex officio). We're still awaiting the results of the investigations by the ITTF Integrity Unit, which is looking into the attempted coup at the ITTF Congress in Doha and the allegations of corruption against Khalil Al-Mohannadi.

When the Tribunal of an Olympic IF dismisses a complaint against the leadership of that federation, it is not initially something to rejoice about. Why not? Because, unfortunately, we see too many Olympic IFs and too many cases in which such internal legal bodies support the power structure and make absurdly non-transparent decisions in favour of the incumbent. We are seeing this happen again in World Triathlon and several other federations – and even the IOC's so-called Ethics Commission consistently comes up with the most absurd feints.

Having said that, it should nevertheless be stated that the ITTF Tribunal's decision on the appeal by the allegedly corrupt Qatari official Khalil Al-Mohannadi and his national federation QTTA is an appropriate one. Anyone who followed the turbulent election congress in Doha in May – whether in the reports in this newsletter, on YouTube or on site – and is still in their right mind cannot come to any other conclusion.

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.

So that is the operative part of the decision of the ITTF Tribunal on the election congress, nothing more has been published (so far):

Olympic Games 2036: Al-Thani vs Ambani. Advantage Qatar.

During the memorable IOC session 2023 in Ambani Town, it looked like the 2036 Olympics would be awarded to India by the IOC with a vengeance. In the meantime, things are looking different. Qatar's Emir Tamim is trying everything to outdo the Ambanis. The decision could be made as early as 2025.

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 and his corrupt gang continue to lie.

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.
