New witnesses and chat protocols on World Triathlon scam: "the whole election was rigged!"

Before I turn your attention to another Olympic IF scandal (stay tuned) and report on ANOC's General Assembly in Portugal this week, I don't want to withhold some developments on the obvious election fraud at World Triathlon – with ICAS vice president Antonio Arimany in the center of the conspiracy.

ESTORIL. At 4:05 p.m., Antonio Jésus Fernández Arimany, the fake president of World Triathlon, was expected to arrive in Lisbon today on flight IB533 from Madrid. For the first time, Arimany wants to attend a major congress as fake president: the General Assembly of the Association of the National Olympic Committees (ANOC) at the Centro de Congressos do Estoril.

It is possible that one or other of his comrades from the NOCs, the International Federations or even the International Olympic Committee (IOC) will ask him questions there about the fake election a week ago, which was organised by the then secretary general Arimany, who is now fake president and the biggest beneficiary of this obvious fraud.

The illegal collusion at this scandalous congress is well documented, as hardly any other electoral fraud in the Olympic movement could be documented. Antonio Arimany claims that he knew nothing and was not involved in anything, that everything was above board.

On the contrary, the evidence is mounting that Antonio Arimany, who also acts as vice president of the International Council of Arbitration for Sport (ICAS), may have played a decisive role in the colossal manipulation.

Witnesses report about conversations with Arimany and his closest allies in which they were ordered how to vote at the World Triathlon Congress.

I have, of course, confronted Arimany with the allegations that have been mounting daily. I gave him the opportunity to reconsider his claims from last week. He had two days to reply – he did not respond.

Act, Ms President-elect! Act, dear readers.

The 144th IOC Session has come to an end. And because it was so pleasurable in the luxurious Greek resort, the IOC decided to return to the next luxury resort for the 2027 session: the Lopesan Costa Bavaro Resort, Spa & Casino, Punta Cana. Money is no object, after all.

Samaranch or Coventry, that is the question. Coe was not only thwarted, his performance remained surprisingly poor, as if he himself had never believed in becoming IOC president. Lappartient, Watanabe, Eliasch and Feisal just don't want to come in last. The water level report.
