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.

HON Circle Monarch Klaus Schormann visits Thomas Bach

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.
