'Half Kilo Dique" is back in the news. It has taken a very long time for him to find a topic meaningless enough, eh? Oh Canada!

 

[Race Radio]

As usual Pound is correct

 

[Benotti69]

Maybe he is hoping that FIFA will sue, but Blatter aint that stupid.

Pity he doesn't try it with the UCI, McQuaid just might take the bait

Yeah, their lawyers will be on that, just as soon as they finish up with Landis.

FIFA are a shambles. Hosting a World Cup in Qatar is staggering.

no Kidding!!!!

they even threatened the Brazilian World Cup organization to take it away from them & hand it over to the USA, due to a new court law looking to grant 50% discount on tickets for retirees & 65 + y.o. people-to which the FIFA mafia got upset with all the potential loses in that regard....... I mean- we criticize so hard the UCI and Pat, but in all fairness-they aren't even that close to the rotting level of corruption happening inside Football-we're talking about "billions" of Euros in crooked contracts,Match fixing/ bribes, TV copyrights, Clothing & Sport Advertising, Tournaments biding, Stadium Constructions for FIFA Approvals, traveling & expenses deals, etc - the list just goes on and on.....

And FIFA's drug testing is weaker than in Tennis, which is weaker than in Cycling.

He's a lawyer, enough said.

But, I am happy that someone like Mr. Pound had the correct collection of attibutes to empower him to tackle some of the biggest, richest, liars and cheats in the last 15yrs.

Sometimes you have to fight 'one nut' with a big "****" eh ...that's Richard Pound. I say bring him back to finish off what he started.

Different situation from Landis. Pound has a bit of weight to make things difficult.

But saying that the UCI looks like it is gearing up to become Chinese and all the perceived riches that entails. Pity ol' McQuaid doesn't realise the Chinese will screw him as soon as it is up and running.

 

[Mrs John Murphy]

Although they made sure Pound was run out of WADA soon enough and replaced with someone a lot more compliant and who isn't likely to go around shooting the sponsors golden geese.

 

[pedaling squares]

I've always admired Pound. He's brash for sure, and maybe he loves to see his name in the news, but he's been hammering on the biggest names in this and other sports long before it became safe or fashionable. And it's cost him too, just ask the fine folks at the IOC and WADA.

Actually Pound says that Sport, in general is corrupt today.

I agree with him. UCI, ITF, FIFA, IOC, have all shown themselves to be corrupt, and are getting worse, in my opinion.

**** Pound. Legend.

Edit lol sorry RICHARD Pound then hahahah

.....golly gee whiz but it seems that **** (aka Richard)Pound must have finally gone back and listened to some of the old flickerposts concerning FIFA's corruption...

...seems the late lamented flicker was once again way ahead of everyone on this critical issue...

I just read this article in El Pais about the same conference - apparently, Verbruggen is the head of an organisation called 'sport accord' which is charged with fighting corruption, amongst other things.

The headline is a good one: 'Verbruggen SA: Dracula in charge of a blood bank'

The German side that won in 54 was on drugs as well. Add in they bribed the officials, who didn't allow a valid on-side goal, and you have some advantage against the other team

The sooner Blatter and his cronies are chased out of town the better.

FIFA boss Sepp Blatter had a weird idiosyncrasy.

As per his profile on Wikipedia:

"In the early 1970s, Blatter was elected president of the World Society of Friends of Suspenders, an organization which tried to stop women replacing suspender belts with pantyhose."

At best he had a vested interest in the suspender belt industry. At worst ......

The worst thing about England not getting the WC in 2018, is the media blaming the likes of the BBC for exposing the corruption. Ian Wright said the BBC were to blame.

How exactly? You clown.

FIFA and World Cup hosts Russia are plunged into fresh doping turmoil, as The Mail on Sunday reveal new evidence of state-sponsored doping and cover-ups the world governing body have buried.

The incredible details include new information about how Russia’s Sports Ministry covered up the positive test of one of the players initially named in their World Cup squad and then swapped his tainted urine for a clean sample.

http://www.mailonsunday.co.uk/sport/football/article-5878241/FIFA-knew-cover-Russia-players-positive-drug-test-18-months-ago.html

Kambolov, according to the Mail investigation, failed a drug test in 2015. Two weeks later, his urine sample was swapped out for a clean one, and he was never punished. The Mail details the scheme in depth, citing various documents and other evidence.

FIFA did not know of Kombalov’s failed test at the time. But it was handed all that evidence in December 2016. It was all included in Part II of the McLaren Report, an independent investigation, commissioned by the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA), into Russia’s state-sponsored scheme. It’s the same report that was behind Russia’s 2018 Olympic ban.

Richard McLaren, the author of the report, met with FIFA in 2017 to further detail the evidence. And, he told the Mail, “Since then, I’ve heard nothing. I don’t know why they haven’t acted.”

The Mail also put 12 specific questions to FIFA before dropping its report. FIFA answered zero of them...Russia’s soccer federation, its sports ministry, and Vitaly Mutko – the former Russian minister of sport who has been deeply involved in soccer, and who was banned for life by the International Olympic Committee for his complicity in the doping scheme – also declined comment to the Mail.
