The heat is on: World Triathlon, the fake elections, the fake president, fake leadership and those responsible for widespread collusion

Martyn Ziegler reports in The Times' Sport Notebook on the fake Triathlon elections this week in Spain: "UK Sport, which provides financial support to some British candidates standing for senior positions in international sporting federations, is understood to have concerns about the election."

Calls for new elections are growing louder. The evidence – witness statements, documents such as the election instruction, photos and video material, advance cries for help to the IOC leadership and much more – is overwhelming. Details are added daily.

The fake leadership of World Triathlon, however, absurdly and against all evidence, claims that everything went according to the rules. The fake leadership around Antonio Arimany, the main organiser of the World Triathlon Congress with the fake elections and at the same time the biggest beneficiary of the fake elections, is of course not acting.

The International Olympic Committee (IOC), including president Thomas Bach in person, was warned and is not acting. The Association of Summer Olympic International Federations (ASOIF), including presidents Francesco Ricci Bitti and Ingmar De Vos, where fake president Arimany serves as Chair of the Legal Consultation Group (ALCG), is not acting.

The bosses of the Court of Arbitration for Sport, mainly John Coates, where fake president Arimany serves as ICAS Vice President, are also on tone-deaf and fail to act.

Please find an overview of the reporting on the alarming events in this Olympic IF, World Triathlon:

• the report of Andreas Selliaas at Idrettspolitikk.no, where Norway's federation president Anette Brurås confirms the electoral scam,

Mafia culture in World Triathlon covered by the Olympic family through inaction

The fake elections have so far no consequences for those who organised the swindle and are its biggest beneficiaries. There are calls for new elections while the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS), of which fake Triathlon boss Antonio Arimany is Vice President, endorses the scam by inaction. Q&A.

World Triathlon: fake president, fake elections, fake oversight

Since we broke the story, more witnesses have come forward to confirm the widespread election collusion at World Triathlon. We have names, documents (as exclusively published), photos and video footage. Is there anyone in Triathlon and the Olympic family willing to stop this madness? The athletes?

Triathlon documents raise fears of vote-rigging

In the elections of World Triathlon, the desired results were already distributed before and during Congress. The two-page list suggests illegal collusion and complete manipulation. The new president Antonio Arimany claims that he was not involved in the dubious events and has no knowledge of them.
