Shame on Them, shame on the President, shame on all who accept this decision.<\/p>\n<p>It is morally indefensible. \u00a0&#8220;Zero Tolerance?&#8221; Really? for individuals stupid enough to be caught, perhaps, but when one of the leading National Olympic Committees in the world CONSPIRES TO CHEAT THE WORLD, the IOC says &#8220;each sport may decide.&#8221; Literally, &#8220;in-credible&#8221;, as in NOT CREDIBLE.<\/p>\n<p>We need a new international organization to assume control over the concepts of the Olympic Games, and prioritize Clean sport with protection for Clean Athletes. I would recommend <strong>Dick Pound<\/strong> lead this new organization. No one else in the world has both his dedication to clean sport, and experience with the concepts of the Olympic Games. Dump &#8220;what&#8217;s-his-name&#8221; who is the pretender to the current Presidency, and is the betrayer of the Olympic Games and call on Mr. Pound.<\/p>\n<p>As it stands today, the only people who will ever pay a price for cheating are those individuals stupid enough to be caught. (and you have to be pretty stupid). Meanwhile every NOC in the world is free to devise clever new ways to thwart the rules, laugh at the rules and Cheat Every Clean athlete in the world. How many will? More than we want. And the IOC will accept institutional cheating while farcically railing against individuals who are &#8220;caught&#8221;. What a Con Job! \u00a0One hopes we will never again hear the ludicrous &#8220;Zero Tolerance&#8221; phrase from the IOC or its lackey, FINA.<\/p>\n<p>The IOC has lost the moral right to &#8220;guard&#8221; the Olympic Ideal. It must be replaced.<\/p>\n<p>Further, note the following: &#8221; I love and believe in the power of the sport of swimming to transform lives. I love and believe in the power of good coaches to change lives for the better. I no longer love and believe in the Olympic Games. (the end of my lifelong love affair with the concept.) Perhaps I and many others have been na\u00efve in the belief that all the &#8220;bad guys&#8221; in the Olympic so-called &#8220;movement&#8221; were in the past, and the future was &#8220;cleaning up.&#8221; Perhaps they have all simply been con men dedicated to self, and not to the true advancement of Olympic Ideals. The time for belief and love of the Olympic Games is Over.<\/p>\n<p>Swimming, exactly like Golf and Tennis, DO NOT NEED THE OLYMPIC GAMES. As soon as swimmers realize they can own and create their own events like Golf&#8217;s Masters and related championships, and Tennis&#8217; Grand Slam series, the sooner elite swimmers can take charge of their own destiny and make individual decisions on participation in the future Olympic Circus.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><em>All commentaries are the opinion of the author and do not necessarily reflect the views\u00a0of ASCA, WSCA, Swimming World Magazine nor its staff.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Commentary by John Leonard, Executive Director of ASCA and WSCA.
