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.
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.
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?
... she submits her candidature by Sunday. Go ahead and bet while the odds are still attractive. Could anybody beat the Moroccan? Nicole Hoevertsz? At least nobody would have to talk anymore about the non-transparent IOC rules and the strange opinions of a dubious IOC Ethics Commission.
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?
