How much did Nike pay Diack to get 2021 Eugene World's

Bump

This is a legitimate question?

Nike's been masterful at buying USATF, and now they have puppets/employees with key positions.

USATF

Tracktown/Eugene

IAAF

If it is true that Doha paid $5M in bribes, then it makes total sense that Eugene/Nike did as well.

On a micro-level, Armstrongs world fell apart. The same might be true for some of the major players in USA Track.

Seriously, who knows what's at the end of this string.

IDK, but I assume Qatar/Doha is the Wild West when it comes to bribery. If Nike paid bribes, it would probably have been a violation of American law:

Any company of the size and international reach of Nike would also have internal compliance policies and practices in place to make sure the FCPA is not violated. Large US companies do sometimes violate the FCPA and get prosecuted, but I doubt Nike would have done something so stupid and risky, whatever the optics of the selection process were.

So you think Diack just gave Eugene the World Championships after getting millions from athletes to cover up positive tests and being bought by Qatar out of the gracious of his heart? The money came from somewhere and in Eugene money of that magnitude only comes from one place.....

Nike had to do what every other IAAF WC, WIC, WXC, etc. site had to do, pay for accommodations for 1000 international federation members of the IAAF Mafia.

Plus bribe Diack and his cronies with cash in their pockets...

Are you confusing the World Championships with the World Cup?

It wouldn't surprise me in the least if there was bribery that occurred regarding the World Championships bid, but I haven't seen anything published on it, just reports about a $5 million bribe for the World Cup...

Maybe it was a blackmail deal. Nike could have had evidence they could use to threaten to out Diack. I don't know if that would fall under the umbrella of foreign corruption under the recent law.

"The Russian doping allegations kickstarted a period of woe for the IAAF that took in allegations in the Guardian that Papa Massata Diack had requested $5m from Qatar during a period in which Doha was bidding to host the 2017 world championships and a range of other corruption claims. Through the IAAF, Diack Jr denied those claims."

hmm He requested $5mil and they got the 2019 World Champs.... Don't worry Diack Jr denies it ever happened so it mustn't be true.

In 2006, Southern California USATF could not get a shoe company sponsor nor the City of Carson, California, to offload the hotel, airfare, food, Hollywood Gay Bar, and L.A. Convention Center rental costs for 3000 IAAF Delegates (a.k.a. IAAF Mafia). The IAAF then cancelled in 2006 Los Angeles World Cup, citing "I.R.S. Tax Prize Reimbursement" as the reason. The real reason was bribes were not paid.

So is FBI investigating IAAF the way they are FIFA? Remember, IAAF has no larger a presence in USA than FIFA does.

Thoughts?

twitter is destroying sports

now we won't have anymore medals from USATF

high school football is going down the drain due to twitter outing brain and HGH, steroid, prescription drug use

Pro sports are being ruined by revelations of PED use by pitchers, NFL, etc

twitter should be banned by the Supreme Court

who cares, the sport is so dirty now it is a joke almost like pro wrestling and professional cycling. Can't believe almost any of the results anymore.

Who cares? I thought you nimrods were all about THE FREE MARKET.

Well,,,,,,, welcome to THE FREE MARKET

When Diack made decisions based on which lined his personal pockets the best vs what is in the best interest of the sport/IAAF than it's not a free market. AKA giving 2019 World's to Qatar. Sport is dying and we're putting World XC in Uganda.... Wonder how much they paid to Diack have an event nobody is going to show up to?

Looks like I'm not the only one that realizes the awarding of World's to Eugene was done under unethical circumstances.

Good lord you are naive. Lance Armstrong is untouched by criminal law despite undoubtedly breaking many Federal laws.

Nobody is going to bother anyone at Nike over a few million dollars in bribes.

What were Armstrong's violations of federal criminal laws that were still within the statute of limitations when the truth of his doping came out?
