With 2020 about to blast off we thought it an opportune moment to remind our subscribers, readers and many friends around the planet of the degree of corruption at the heart of international athletics and within the Olympic community.
Of course there’s so many issues, but for us it’s the sickening appeasement of China’s regime which is most irksome. None more so than agreeing to host the 2022 Winter Games in that country. A decision taken despite the broken assurances and failures surrounding the 2008 Olympics, hosted in China. During which Tibetans and Uyghurs were being brutally oppressed, tortured and jailed for demanding freedom and human rights.
Those heading the international athletics community turned their eyes away, maintained a silence, while not a single athlete or club we appealed to directly expressed any concern or solidarity. Others went further, including the guy above, Craig Reedie, current head of the world doping agency, who denied and appeased on the subject of China’s troubling human rights violations.
This narrative of denial, excuse and concealment looks set to be repeated during the next twelve months as preparations intensify for the 2022 Winter Games. Will athletes take a stand this time, or can we expect the allure of fame, self-interest and fortune to take precedence once again?

I will sign anything that comes my way to redress this situation. I have always wanted to go to Tibet but have been unable to see with my own eyes the wonders of that civilization. I now support Lelung Rinpoche in London but it’s not enough to deal with the Chinese. The only way with them I feel is to change their attitude to diversity and inclusion.
Thanks for your solidarity with the Tibetan people and their just cause for national freedom
