NEW:
🇷🇺 As Russia returns to world sport, I found that only 25% of its world championship weightlifters underwent independent out-of-competition testing before the event.
❓Given Russia's doping past, who's actually testing its athletes?
For @dw_sports

1. The @iocmedia bears responsibility for relaxing sanctions on Russia.
2. Will @IIHFHockey follow the IOC’s 2018 playbook and allow Russians to compete as “neutral athletes”? Another rebranding instead of a ban?
3. CAS is not independent. Its credibility is in serious question.
You know things are bad for a sports event, team or league when sponsors start emailing journalists with statements saying they want to pull out. Ice hockey’s Russia crisis deepens. Nobody wants to play them, host them or have their brand linked to them.

Why is the CAS issuing a second statement defending its controversial decision to reinstate Russia?
Publish the full reasoned award.
"Independent tribunals" should let their decisions speak for themselves, not engage in PR exercises to justify them.

Gold-lettered blazers, private jets, cars for relatives and VVIP - the gilded life of Gianni Infantino and those that enable his excesses at FIFA.
Why is FIFA quietly paying millions in US taxes for its millionaire president?

A spectacular opening ceremony in Dakar has brought unique African energy to the Summer @youtholympics, even though the event is facing an uncertain future with the @iocmedia considering whether it should continue. @pbarkersport reports from Senegal for the #ZeusFiles on the start of a Games which also marks the return of the Russian flag and national symbols to the @Olympics. *Public post*

No surprise here. The Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS), seemingly under the influence of @iocmedia, has once again kowtowed to Russia. CAS is anything but independent. The entire sporting world appears to be toeing the IOC party line to welcome Russia back. Shameful!

25 October: @iwfnet awards the 2030 World Championships to Russia.
26 October: @UNHumanRights reports crimes against humanity by Russian.
This is international sport under @iocmedia President Kirsty Coventry, accommodating Russia - ignoring its atrocities.

Vladimir Putin's government is taking every opportunity afforded by the @iocmedia decision to lift sanctions on Russia.
The Sports Minister Mikhail Degtyarev is wasting no chance to make it look like he and the @Olympics are working together to restore Russia to the top table of international sport.
In this special *public* edition of the #ZeusFiles, we examine how the IOC became 'useful idiots' for Russia duncanmackayveritas.substack…

Why an application process? Just pay the athletes.
Hearing that some National Olympic Committees and International Federations are not happy with this decision.
Maybe that’s the point. This money is for the athletes.

Did you compete at Milano-Cortina 2026? 🏅
You are eligible for a $10,000 grant from the IOC—promised to open by the year's end. But since the announcement, athletes haven’t received any information on the application process or delivery timeline.
We're tracking this closely to ensure Olympians receive what they were promised. Follow the link to stay informed as this develops.👇

The @iocmedia president, Kirsty Coventry, needs to read this opinion piece by @bruce_arthur from the @TorontoStar.

“Heraskevych said policymakers need to abandon what he called the mistaken assumption that sport can be separated from politics. Many people "believe that sport is out of politics," he said. "But Russian sport is being used in propaganda."
He pointed to Russian athletes' participation in political events, support for President Vladimir Putin's ruling political establishment, and activities connected to Russia's war effort against Ukraine.
Heraskevych also cited what he described as Russian athletes' involvement in events linked to Ukrainian children who were forcibly taken to Russia and their participation in military-related activities.” @ralexdc @heraskevych

🚨 NEW INVESTIGATION: Russian sport didn't reform—it went further underground.
The Christo Files reveal the FSB's grip on Russian sport & anti-doping may be deeper than ever, including alleged ties between RUSADA's Director General and an FSB colonel linked to the doping system exposed by McLaren a decade ago.
The system didn't disappear. It adapted.
If nothing fundamentally changed, why is Russia being let back into the Olympic Movement?

This putin supporter should not have been allowed to compete at all.
The very fact of her participation is already a failure of international sport and assistance to the war that russia unleashed.
And this russian athlete is yet another excellent example of the fact that sport in russia has never been “neutral.”
🇷🇺 Russian athlete Angelina Melnikova celebrates with no Russian flag and no national anthem despite claiming gold at the European Gymnastics Championships.
Only neutral music and the World Gymnastics flag is allowed for every Russian and Belarusian athlete at the event.

The "Real Magic" of @CocaCola?
The IOC just opened Russia's path to the Olympics despite the war in Ukraine and FSB involvement in anti-doping cover-ups. Your partnership funds this impunity.
