Fake Integrity made in Lausanne
Once again, the International Olympic Committee passed some resolution on good governance without really acting in accordance with these propagated standards.

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.
Predrag Bošković, who is also a council member of the International Handball Federation (IHF), has been arrested in his home country of Montenegro. According to media reports, state prosecutors accused the former minister of being part of a criminal organisation that targeted political opponents.
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.
For a quarter of a century, the scandal-ridden Pharaoh Hassan Moustafa has ruled world handball and, now in his ninth decade and marked by illness, wants to be crowned IHF president again in Cairo shortly before Christmas. Three opponents want to prevent this.
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.
The Table Tennis Tribunal dismissed appeals by corrupt presidential candidate Khalil Al Mohannadi and Qatar – the full decision has now been published. Among other things, the appellants had challenged the legitimacy of votes cast by rather exotic federations from the shores of the oceans.
Danish president Mads Freund is calling on the World Triathlon Congress in October to conduct an independent forensic investigation into the corrupt 2024 elections and to remove corrupt officials. The triathlon mafia "The Group" is fighting back and wants Freund removed.
As minutes suggest, senior IOC member Ser Miang Ng, who is also Honorary Chairman of World Taekwondo's Kukkiwon, has obviously been campaigning for Virtual Taekwondo, a game developed by his children's companies – with the aim of it being included in the Olympic Esports Games and other events.
Next week, I will provide German readers with exclusive background information on the Olympic bid. Since dubious websites such as Insidethegames are spreading unsorted nonsense, a mixture of propaganda and AI hallucinations, I'm offering the English-speaking audience a brief summary in the meantime.
The IOC and the International Hockey Federation (FIH) have been protecting Tayyab Ikram, the dubious Olympic wheeler-dealer, for many years. New allegations also weigh heavily on India's bid for the 2036 Olympic Games, where Ikram is allegedly cashing in as a lobbyist in a variety of ways.
Today, the Court of Appeal set Anders Besseberg's sentence at three years' imprisonment and confiscation of assets worth just over NOK 1 million. The prosecution hopes that the second conviction will raise awareness of the risk of corruption in Olympic federations and have a preventive effect.
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.
Documents suggest that fake president Arimany, who scandalously serves as vice-president of the International Council of Arbitration for Sport, predetermined the World Triathlon election results in 2024. As things stand, he lied about it, claiming he was not involved in the election scam.
The newsletters about the corruption allegations against IOC finance chief Ser Miang Ng are making headlines. The IOC is responding to inquiries from Singaporean media with its usual and predictably primitive propaganda.
