Man stelle sich vor, das würde auf der IOC-Session im Juni passieren. Die Gerüchte dazu gehen heute herum in der olympischen Familie. Auf einen Schlag würde Deutschland 73 Prozent aller olympischen Wintersport-Medaillen verlieren, für die Hunderte Millionen Euro bezahlt werden. Eine Katastrophe.

What I outlined in Thursday's newsletter has been confirmed by CAS' Ad Hoc Division: Denis Oswald made the decision on Wednesday on behalf of the IOC Disciplinary Commission. The IBSF jury was instructed to act in accordance with IOC guidelines. The next day, the IOC pulled off its deception again.

The reporting on Nazi symbolism in The Olympic Shop deserves some background information and documentation. So here is a story about how the IOC basically blackmailed (German) Olympic bidders and how much money the IOC Group paid for the 1936 Olympic films financed by Joseph Goebbels.

Once again, CAS acted in accordance with the wishes of the IOC. The press release on the arbitration ruling reads as if it were written by IOC's propaganda department – no deviations from IOC positions. Questions on the proceedings and the lack of transparency of IBSF and IOC remain unanswered.

Let us forget the Olympic lie of neutrality! There can be no neutrality when a murderous Russian regime is about to destroy another country and threatens World War III. That is why the Ukrainian Vladyslav Heraskevych, like all other Ukrainian athletes and Olympians, deserves our full solidarity.
culture of fear
IOC employees describe a culture of fear not only in the offices in Lausanne. The situation in Madrid, where a quarter of the IOC workforce is based, is also described as toxic in some departments. The incidents and the way in which management deals with them reveal a worrying Olympic pattern.

EXKLUSIV: Nach internen Ermittlungen wird IOC-Direktorin Marie Sallois von ihren Aufgaben entbunden, übernimmt seltsamer Weise aber die Koordination für Coventrys "Fit for the Future"-Projekt. Wer schützt sie? Mitarbeiter berichten von ähnlichen Problemen in anderen Direktoraten des IOC.

Read the figures for the 2021–2024 Olympic cycle: more than $55 million was paid to IOC directors – much more than the top-tier Olympic federations (World Athletics & Co) receive from the IOC revenue. The total amount is significantly higher, as some salaries are kept secret.
