I find it hard to accept the findings of the ethics commission of the International Olympic Committee after its investigation into the ticket-selling incidents before the recent Olympic Games.

That an ethics commission should find against two senior officials for “unethical conduct, tarnishing the reputation of the IOC” when it could find nothing to say on the ethical conduct of two British reporters from The Sunday Times of London, a quality paper, posing as two Middle Eastern agents and secretly filming the interview with the MOC, beggars belief and calls into question the standing of this ethics commission.

Does this ethics commission consider the subterfuge of ‘entrapment’ by the elite of the British press correct and in order?

The Malta Olympic Committee should have no qualms in throwing out the unfounded censure emanating from this ethics commission of the IOC prepared to accept the provocateur, deceitful disguises of the British press recently condemned for its unethical behaviour by the exhaustive Leveson inquiry.
