Can you believe it the
International Olympic Committee are going to have a team Refugees competing in
the Olympics plus they have given them approx. £1.6 million in funds. Apart
from the fact that if the money is to be donated surely it should go to all refugees
not an elite few and Sport should be well down the list of what is important
for these refugees. In England alone we have British people on the street if
the IOC hands out money why not give to the poor of the World rather then a
select few.
What about other athletes
throughout the World who come from poor but stable countries who cannot afford
to train Olympic standard athletes and send them to the Olympics surely they
deserve a chance and they are not running away from their country who needs them.
My Sport of Sambo has been
trying for decades to become an Olympic Sport what about our Sport do we not
warrant help?
This is not the first time
that the IOC has made dubious decisions recently they said they will accept
Transgender women even though it is suggested that this would give them an
unfair advantage in terms of Strength etc. but worse still was that they will
accept Transgender people who were receiving treatment that means you can have
a person competing as a women with genitals someone who has all the attributes
of a Man.
It is time there was an
investigation into the funding and practise of the IOC like there has been in
International Football and Athletics, questions should be asked about the
finance of this organisation lets hope that some Journalists takes this on
board because the ordinary man like me will never be listened to
