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.
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.
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.
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.
Samaranch or Coventry, that is the question. Coe was not only thwarted, his performance remained surprisingly poor, as if he himself had never believed in becoming IOC president. Lappartient, Watanabe, Eliasch and Feisal just don't want to come in last. The water level report.
Part 1: A third of the presidential posts in summer Olympic IFs will be filled by December. So far, it's been a man's world: two fake presidents, five incumbents, three new bosses and the big question of whether Alisher Usmanov, who is sanctioned in three dozen nations, will lead the FIE again.
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.
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.
THE TIMES has taken up the reporting on the dubious events in World Triathlon. Other media will follow. THE TIMES reports additionally, that a former candidate has lodged a complaint of bullying and threatened to withdraw from the presidential race.
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.
Since we broke the story, more witnesses have come forward to confirm the widespread election collusion at World Triathlon. We have names, documents (as exclusively published), photos and video footage. Is there anyone in Triathlon and the Olympic family willing to stop this madness? The athletes?
About doping, doping reporting, the differences between Rogge and Bach … whether in journalism or in the investigative bodies with lots of money, the key question is always: you just have to want it. But anyone who defends CHINADA reports and doesn't ask any questions has lost.
No Olympic athletes went on strike on the day that the staff at the sinfully expensive IOC hotel L'hôtel du Collectionneur went on strike, but swimming legends once again made it clear that their trust in the so-called fight against doping and the anti-doping system has been lost.
What is happening in Lausanne right now at the meeting of all Olympic and non-Olympic IFs? SportAccord continues to make itself superfluous in the interests of the IOC. The information provided by SportAccord and its stakeholders is a disaster. Pretentious. Is Uğur Erdener already president?
It is one of the most intriguing questions about the dubious dictatorship of IOC President Thomas Bach: Why were the salaries of some IOC directors almost doubled in the middle of the COVID crisis? Why do his loyal servants earn more money from the IOC in one Olympiad than any Olympic IF?
