Dear readers and subscribers,

the judgement by the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) is the top sporting news story of the day.

On the website of THE INQUISITOR, we've published an exclusive revelation by Lúcio de Castro on the machinations of the Brazilian Football Association CBF.

Allegations of sexual and moral harassment. A Big Brother setup in the president's office with cameras spying on employees, directors, media and coaches. The heavy presence of plainclothes armed police on election day to intimidate political opponents. A mafia movie? No. Welcome to the CBF.

You should definitely read this story, which is available in Portuguese and English.

At the weekend, we also described the latest absurd developments from the wonder world of the integrity wizards of international swimming.

European Aquatics: united in total lack of transparency
The head of Portugal’s leading sports institute “repudiates and condemns” the lack of truth in statements made by António Silva, he has told national media on a day when the controversial, “self-suspended” boss of Portuguese swimming was reelected president of European Aquatics in Athens.

Also, always worth a very thorough read if you haven't already: The full verdict in the appeal of convicted Olympic offender Sheikh Ahmad Al-Fahad Al-Sabah.

Wording of the judgement against Sheikh Ahmad: “Selfish actions, bad collaboration, nil awarness of wrongdoing”
We provide subscribers with the latest judgement. Read the document and make up your own mind. Ahmad and his supporters are still lying. To this day, the Olympic family continues to perpetuate lie that the criminal conviction is somehow just a private matter – but the case shows Ahmad’s true colors.

Stay curious. Expect amazing @ THE INQUISITOR and SPORT & POLITICS.

Kind regards!
