LAUSANNE, Switzerland, December 11. HENRI Serandour, the president of the French Olympic Committee, is facing suspension by the International Olympic Committee for his involvement in a corruption case. Back in October of 2006, Serandour was given a three-month suspended prison sentence for giving two high-powered jobs to a communications firm for which his wife works.
The IOC reviewed the case Tuesday, but no decision was reached on Serandour's status. It is expected that discussion will continue on Wednesday. An IOC member since 2000, Serandour will see his tenure end one way or the other at the end of the month, as he'll turn 70, the mandatory retirement age.
