At the weekend, we also described the latest absurd developments from the wonder world of the integrity wizards of international swimming.

European Aquatics: united in total lack of transparency

The head of Portugal’s leading sports institute “repudiates and condemns” the lack of truth in statements made by António Silva, he has told national media on a day when the controversial, “self-suspended” boss of Portuguese swimming was reelected president of European Aquatics in Athens.

Also, always worth a very thorough read if you haven't already: The full verdict in the appeal of convicted Olympic offender Sheikh Ahmad Al-Fahad Al-Sabah.

Wording of the judgement against Sheikh Ahmad: “Selfish actions, bad collaboration, nil awarness of wrongdoing”

We provide subscribers with the latest judgement. Read the document and make up your own mind. Ahmad and his supporters are still lying. To this day, the Olympic family continues to perpetuate lie that the criminal conviction is somehow just a private matter – but the case shows Ahmad’s true colors.
