Pentathlon leaders have applied to the IOC for a second Olympic discipline: Ninja 100m. They blame a compressed IOC timeline for the speed of the internal decision. Though, Vice President Viacheslav Malishev says the Executive Board had been kept in the dark about the IOC’s letter for eleven days.
The Pentathlon Union managed to delay the arbitration process indefinitely, the appeal lodged by Sharif El Erian was now dismissed. The Egyptian had a majority of 51:50 in the second round of voting at the 2024 congress in Riyadh, but the highly controversial American Robert Stull became president.
The World Olympians Association (WOA) is not the first organisation that the IOC has dissolved or arranged to be dissolved. In autumn 2022, the more important GAISF was killed off – the trail led to the IOC headquarters. The WOA case is much better documented. Read the most important correspondence!
This newsletter is exclusively for you, Sheikh Ahmad Al-Fahad Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah. You are no longer an IOC member – not even one suspended. You have not been a member at all since the closing of the 144th session. Allow me to look back, respectfully, on the many years we spent together.
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.
Welcome to the UIPM congress! Decades of dubious Olympic deals in World Pentathlon could have serious legal consequences: an explosive secret report about the machinations of UIPM executives is being examined by criminal authorities, tax investigators and anti-corruption units in several countries.
Part V: At 3 p.m., in just a few minutes, UIPM monarch Klaus Schormann and his secretary general Shiny Fang will meet with IOC boss Thomas Bach. You, dear readers, are not supposed to know about this meeting – and you should not read the following email that Fang has just sent out. Voilà...
On 7 November, UIPM president Klaus Schormann will be the IOC's president's guest at the Olympic House at 3 p.m. Shortly afterwards, he will fly to Saudi Arabia for 8 days and wants to come back as HON president. I have prepared a list of questions that IOC boss Bach should definitely ask Schormann.
Part III: Before we take a deeper look at further documents, contracts and machinations from the UIPM, let us briefly read an email in which monarch Klaus Schormann tries to explain certain events to his colleagues on the Executive Board – let us check whether his assertions are correct.
Part II: For months, an explosive ethics complaint has been filed against the UIPM president, which is receiving special treatment and being kept secret. This casts the strange events surrounding treasurer John Helmick in Paris in a new light and could have been an act of perfidious revenge.
Part I: Read the original of a so-called sponsor contract that Klaus Schormann, in violation of the UIPM statutes, signed on his own authority, with a strange consulting firm whose owner had just been convicted of tax fraud and went to prison shortly after the contract was signed.
