Whose exceptional journalism exposed the issues with the IOC ignoring the IBA's findings about two male boxers in the women's division.

Anna and Marshi stayed up too late one night investigating.

And voila! Bach steps down and women's sports are on everyone's mind!

Meticulous investigative journalism over many years. They deserve a much higher profile and a lot more respect.
Genevieve Gluck and Anna Slatz are heroines.

Always hear, hear.

I know from previous experience when I sent something on to them over a year ago that they are METICULOUS in their investigations and evidencing.

BBC need to take notes and buck up.

Yes, they are fantastic. I shall make a note to send them some carrots; these are superb journalists and they don't get enough credit.

I went onto their site intending to do the same, but all I could see was links to cryptocurrency, which scared me off because I don't understand it.

Has Bach resigned? I thought he just said he’s not standing for re-election next year (which would have required a change to the IOC rules anyway).

Snowypeaks · 12/08/2024 08:01

Yes, that's correct but until recently he was dead set on trying to get the rules changed so he could stand for reelection.

ETA:
So maybe the row over the boxers has had an effect on what he thinks his chances are.

WarriorN · 12/08/2024 08:05

Despotism much?! 🤨

Stunning journalism, brave journalists 👏👏👏

Bryndis Blackadder has been consistently good.

They are an impressive network. I wonder how many of them there are.

MsNemo · 12/08/2024 08:15

YESSS! 🤗👏

Hope so!

I read or heard yesterday, that Bach acknowledged that the boxing scandal was the reason why he was stepping down. Whilst looking for that source, I came across this little gem: "...Bach was sharply criticised for being far too soft on Russia and for ties to Russian President Vladimir Putin, who was the first to congratulate him by phone just seconds after his election in 2013."

If you look above the links to crypto, you'll see you can donate via Paypal, Patreon, Stripe, or buy merch (although none is currently available).

Bah, hidden because I pointed out there are ways to give them money. Go to the Support Us link and then look at the boxes above the BTC, ETH etc list.

Yeah you can do PayPal or credit card.

Amazing work. It's just occurred to me over the last few days what a sea change we are seeing in the media.

Mainstream sources are becoming pointless or simply stooges for government / pet projects. True journalism is happening elsewhere.

Reduxx knocked this out of the park

Thanks, Arabella and nauticant
I can't believe I didn't notice the boxes! Anyhoo, I've planted a courgette or two.

Ereshkigalangcleg · 12/08/2024 09:52

Reduxx are amazing.

Omlettes · 12/08/2024 21:25

I couldnt agree more.
And this is just one of hundreds of scandals that wouldnt have seen the light of day without them.
We can thank them for exposing the Eunuch Files and going after WPATH for starters.

Absolutely.
We wouldnt know the half of it without them.
Everyone from Glinner on, rely on them.
