    The Olympic committee is as bent as any other just like the committee that gave Qatar the world cup they are all willing to accept a back hander via a brown envelope so why should I care about what values they hold?

    tbh I doubt if the amount of cash they get would fit in either a brown envelope or their back pocket

    Indeed.
    I confess to feeling there is something very unsavoury about the hypocrisy of any organisation which does not uphold its own, stated, time-honoured and traditional values.

    So, A1GP doing a Lazarus, then? And Bernie's ludicrous gold-silver-bronze proposal finally being validated ?


    For heaven's sake are the IOC and FIA both fast asleep ?

    I wondered who'd be first to mention Ecclemedals…

    Roadie: I share your concerns.
