I would like to start with those who may have obviously been innocently included in such documents and thus cast in a bad light. This concerns at least two IOC members. I have just spoken to one of these IOC members about the latest cache of documents. This man is mentioned in the Epstein Files because, among other things, a year after the death of human trafficker and felon Jeffrey Epstein, a private investigator contacted the DOJ and alleged that the current IOC member had a close relationship with Epstein. Without any evidence.
We know that this is only part of the files. More than two million, half of the material, is unpublished. We also know that the criminal Trump administration is using this publication practice to set traps and distract attention.
The private investigator, who was working on a completely different matter on the current IOC member, certainly did not give his real name in the conversation with one of the investigators. That person never provided any reliable information. Just slander.
That is one side of the coin. I will discuss this at the end of the article.
The other side of the coin is those who can indeed be counted among Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell's good acquaintances, lovers and even business partners – shameful enough.
This category includes one of the guardians of the so-called Olympic ideals: multimillionaire Casey Wasserman, chairman of the Los Angeles Organising Committee for the 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games (LAOCOG).
This category also includes Paolo Zampolli, Donald Trump's Special Envoy for Global Partnerships, about whom I reported in detail a few days ago.
And this creates a new Olympic problem.
