The letter from Triathlon Denmark, which I am publishing today, is a rare case of minimal civil courage in an Olympic international federation (IF). In World Triathlon, the leadership operates with lies and deceit, and whistleblowers and those who could become whistleblowers are currently being pressured.
In such a toxic environment, even a letter that politely asks questions without even naming corrupt officials is something special. It is a small act of resistance, a delicate seedling that must be nurtured and cared for.
