So, Norway can still cheat its wat to the top at every Winter Olympics. Nice bias WADA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vojthas 947 Posted June 10, 2020 #316 Share Posted June 10, 2020 I "love" how the NOC presidents are given an "individual" IOC membership instead of linked to function within a NOC. But there is even better thing than that - as well as Coates, who had a burning chair in Australia and his status was changed from linked to NOC to individual, the same goes with William F. Blick who was elected an IOC member... just two years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well the Mongolian guy is at the very least the Vice President of their NOC, so at least there’s some experience there. “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.
