IOC tackle corruption

The International Olympic Committee were today forced to address the “dark and sordid side of sport” as allegations of corruption, the potential expulsion of two members and the on-going doping debate made for an eventful first morning at the Executive Board meeting in Athens.

Although the suspension of Bulgarian Ivan Slavkov over corruption allegations will dominate the headlines, the IOC also recommended Indonesian member Mohamad ‘Bob’ Hasan be ejected at next week’s session.
