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and ally of UIPM Supremo Klaus Schormann, who has been in office for 31 years, has had his Paris accreditation withdrawn.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.
Most of the international Olympic sports federations are financially heavily dependent on their share of the revenues from the Olympic Games. The IOC traditionally does not publish how it will distribute the revenues from the Olympic Games among the 28 permanent summer sports federations.
