The media has been reporting that French investigative authorities have been investigating allegations of bribery against Tusnekazu Takeda, the President of the JOC in 2020 Olympics bit.
I'm not sure what the fact is.
If the allegation was true, it would be an incredibly big problem, needless to say.
Always too much money moves around for Olympics, both legally and illegally.
I felt that there was few people here in Japan who thought he did something illegal.
However, his press conference is being criticized.
He just explained what's been going on so far and his innocence unilaterally, and then, the news conference lasted only 7 minutes. Any question wasn't accepted.
The details are here.
Hmm... actually, I've had a good impression of him. He seemed to be a nice person. So, although I can't say he did illegal or not, at least I don't think he is not a person who conducted such a press conference.
Then, I heard something.
When he announced that he would hold a news conference, the IOC told him not to do that. Hmm... But he had already announced. I guess that's why the news conference ended up like that?
He might have wanted to hold a more decent news conference.
Or, he might not be a person I thought.
By the way, the persons who allegedly received money are Lamine Diack and his son.
Lamine Diack is the ex-president of the IAAF and an ex-member of the IOC.
The money allegedly flew; Japan ---> the consulting firm which Japan used for 2020 Olympics bit ---> Lamine Diack's son ---> Lamine Diack's
Lamine Diack is...
He was prosecuted for bribery of 2016 Rio Olympics bit.
Also, the WADA reproted that he was involved in the cover-up of doping committed by Russian and Turkish athletes and got money in exchange for the cover-up.
What a money-tainted person!!
