Today's news has a couple of stories which are hard to believe,
Apparently, Lamine Diack, who is head of the IAAF, is 'shocked' by suggestions that the performance of many Russian athletes is being enhanced by the use of drugs. This over paid goon says, in time honoured fashion, that his organisation will clean it up. Where have I heard that before ?
Athletes have been using drugs for decades. Every now and then, this abuse hits the headlines and there are promises that it will be stamped out. Phooey. The world of major international sport is so lucrative and riddled with corruption that no one will ever do anything meaningful to change things. The leaders of organisations such as the IAAF, the IOC and FIFA have a vested interest in ignoring the abuses and even in sweeping them under the carpet.
International sport is a disgusting cesspit of corruption, run from above by elites who make vast fortunes for themselves while giving not a dickie bird for the sports they are supposed to be representing. It's well past time that the IAAF, IOC, FIFA and all the rest were shut down and we got back to the days when sports was a pastime rather than a money making venture. Some hope.
