IAAF AND FIFA MUST WORK FOR THE FUTURE !


The Athletic and Football Federations (IAAF and FIFA), which both have World-wide responsibilities, are each facing the same problems after serious acts of fraud by trusted Executives in their Organisations were revealed.  It is also quite clear that guilty Executives must be prosecuted, because only this will serve as a deterrant in the future !

This implies that both Organisations must continue to work for the future, as well as helping Prosecutors in their duties. 

In the case of the IAAF this particularly means that it must ensure that foolproof anti-drug tests are introduced at the RIO Olympics in August this year !   Only on this condition could  undisputed new World and National Records be re-established !

Old Records are doubtful and it would be impossible now to verify every one of them for drug abuse ! 

In the case of FIFA, more prosecution problems could yet arise in connection with the attribution of the coming World Cups !   To put it simply if necessary, there are several countries which could stage the Finals of the next World Cups, at short notice and without even blinking ! 

FIFA however, must continue to plan for the future, even modify the Rules of the Game, if this is judged to be necessary !  Only cleaning up the dirty past will not ensure clean and brilliant future !
