    Interesting note in an article we posted a link to a couple days ago.

    The Times of London reported on Wednesday that Bjorn Eriksson, who would have led a Gothenburg, Sweden bid for the 2021 Worlds if it wasn't given to Eugene without a bidding process, said that Lord Seb Coe, the new president of the IAAF, not only called him and told him that "the procedure wasn’t correct" to give Worlds to Eugene without a bid, but that Eugene winning worlds was being investigated by French police as part of the corruption enquiry into Lamine Diack.

    LRC article (not much more than what's above) here:

    And here we go. For the next 6 years we are going to see threads every few months on this board asking "What is the status of that French Police investigation into Eugene landing the World Championships".

    If Nike did pay bribes to get the World Championships, that is a violation of US law. They are already investigation for bribes they paid regarding soccer in Brazil. Throw their whole board's a$$es in jail.

    The French? They won't even send troops to Syria to payback ISIS for the Paris attacks. The French didn't start one battle in their own country w/o the US baiting them on in WWII . What a bunch of wimps the French are.

    What on earth are you on about. You're mental.

    No one has sent troops in yet and if anyone does I suspect the French will be there. One of the reasons they were targeted was because they are one of the few countries involved in Syria with air strikes. The same as Russia who had a passenger plane shot out of the sky.

    Napoleon might have something to say about your view of France.

    Anyway back to the running, they should be commended for investigating Diack and looking into the awarding of the World Championships to Eugene. Coe will be dragged into this as well. He's was on the pay roll of Nike until last week and there's already been emails showing he was talking to Nike about the bid. He obviously doesn't understand the principal of being impartial.

    Now you can get back to your French Fries, or singing along to Les Misérables, which I assume is what you do in your spare time.
