    IOC President Thomas Bach has made it very clear that politics should be kept out of the #Olympics. However, it is a paradox that IOC’s characterisation of politicisation only seems to apply to #athletes and not the host nations, writes @StanisElsborg. playthegame.org/news/comments/…

    Replying to @EmmaBatemanGPW and @FondOfBeetles
    It’s a comment by Andy Harvey, not Play the Game’s view. We have had varying opinion and views about this subject, and will continue to do so. If @FondOfBeetles is interested, we are keen to explore this possibility.

    ”Honestly, I don’t think even the most critical, most negative, most conspiracy-loving follower of @playthegame_org in 2009 could imagine the real scope of the crime and corruption,” writes @JensSejerA in a wind-up of ten turbulent years in world sport.

    U.S. gymnastics coach L. Nassar abused at least 250 young women and girls before his crimes were exposed. Why was he allowed to continue offending for so long? And what can we learn from such cases?@Hogshead3Au, @maryvharvey, @ColonJuRiese, @Marci_Hamilton playthegame.org/news/news-arti…
