Welcome to the UIPM congress! Decades of dubious Olympic deals in World Pentathlon could have serious legal consequences: an explosive secret report about the machinations of UIPM executives is being examined by criminal authorities, tax investigators and anti-corruption units in several countries.
He is the oligarch's all-purpose weapon in the Fédération Internationale d'Escrime (FIE). His CV is at least as interesting and controversial as his reputation. You must get to know Vitaly Logvin Grechuhin, shortly before FIE's election congress in his and Alisher Usmanov's hometown of Tashkent.
Part V: At 3 p.m., in just a few minutes, UIPM monarch Klaus Schormann and his secretary general Shiny Fang will meet with IOC boss Thomas Bach. You, dear readers, are not supposed to know about this meeting – and you should not read the following email that Fang has just sent out. Voilà...
On 7 November, UIPM president Klaus Schormann will be the IOC's president's guest at the Olympic House at 3 p.m. Shortly afterwards, he will fly to Saudi Arabia for 8 days and wants to come back as HON president. I have prepared a list of questions that IOC boss Bach should definitely ask Schormann.
Part III: Before we take a deeper look at further documents, contracts and machinations from the UIPM, let us briefly read an email in which monarch Klaus Schormann tries to explain certain events to his colleagues on the Executive Board – let us check whether his assertions are correct.
Part II: For months, an explosive ethics complaint has been filed against the UIPM president, which is receiving special treatment and being kept secret. This casts the strange events surrounding treasurer John Helmick in Paris in a new light and could have been an act of perfidious revenge.
Part I: Read the original of a so-called sponsor contract that Klaus Schormann, in violation of the UIPM statutes, signed on his own authority, with a strange consulting firm whose owner had just been convicted of tax fraud and went to prison shortly after the contract was signed.
UIPM board member and treasurer John Helmick, son of former corrupt IOC member Robert Helmick, was sent home from Paris. The pentathlon official is alleged to have traded in accreditations on his own account. UIPM president Klaus Schormann refuses to answer specific questions about the case.
The Union Internationale de Pentathlon Moderne (UIPM) is once again creating bad news. John Helmick, son of a former IOC vice president and ally of UIPM Supremo Klaus Schormann, who has been in office for 31 years, has had his Paris accreditation withdrawn. The case raises many questions.
