Earlier, I raised questions regarding the application of IOF Fair Play principles in the World Cup Round 2. I wrote to several stakeholders asking their opinion on whether in it is a potential conflict of interest if the coach of a national team is the course setter on a major IOF event. I published the responses from the organisers in my previous post.
The replies received from the IOF President, General Secretary, and the Chair of the Rules Commission are shown below. As with the responses of the organisers, I would argue with some of their key points, but I will do it only after the World Cup event.
I also received responses from the IOF Senior Event advisor and the Chair of the FootO Commission. They suggested getting back to this topic after the event. That is understandable and appreciated.
There was no response, whatsoever, from the Chair of the Ethics Panel and the two FootO representatives of the Athletes Commission.
