DThe decision of the International Olympic Committee (International Olympic Committee) In order to give its administration the power to suspend the entire Olympic Games, the reform forces of the world weightlifting organization IMF panicked.
“The simple fact is that we still have one month to save this primitive and beloved Olympic movement,” read a statement from eight national associations, including the United States and Germany. The requirement is that all leading figures in the sports industry resign unconditionally and pass a reform constitution at the Doha Conference at the end of the month to implement all the requirements of the International Olympic Committee.
“This time we call on the sports leadership to put sports above itself,” it said. Vice President of the International Olympic Committee, Australian John Coates (John Coates) International Weightlifting Federation There was no name but it was stated that there is a world association to which the executive officer has put forward four “very specific suggestions”, but they have not yet been adopted. Therefore, the Executive Officer of the International Olympic Committee should have the right to suspend his participation in the competition. The charter amendment was unanimously passed on Sunday.
The statement was also signed by the federations of Belgium, New Zealand, Greece, the Marshall Islands, Fiji and Samoa, and the statement will make demands on behalf of all athletes planning to participate in the 2024 Paris Olympics. Sarah Davis, spokesperson for the IWF athletes from the United Kingdom, is also one of the signatories. She only called herself a “2020 Olympic Games participant” and not an executive member of the IMF, which shows that she has resigned.
During the Olympics, the “old guards” of the International Monetary Fund held a meeting with reformers and negotiated to soften the eligibility criteria for leadership elections. People who have been exposed to doping before—also in their national associations—should not be eligible to participate in elections. There should be age restrictions and tenure restrictions.
So far, the relevant board members who are still in office have managed to prevent a two-thirds majority in Congress from reforming. In Tokyo, several members of the IMF executive officers were initially rejected by the IOC. Russia’s Maxim Agapitow has successfully sued CAS. The International Olympic Committee is now also revising its charter to end this possibility.
