Tokyo Olympics: €1.3m payment to secret account raises questions over 2020 Games

A seven-figure payment from the Tokyo Olympic bid team to an account linked to the son of the disgraced former world athletics chief Lamine Diack was apparently made during Japan’s successful race to host the 2020 Games, the Guardian has learned.

I'm shocked davka.

Say it ain't so, Tokyo!

Didn't SLC have a similar issue? I really don't remember.

Didn't SLC have a similar issue?

Yes, and the IOC implemented all sorts of reforms as a result.

I remember that there was bribery, but can't remember the specifics.

Maybe it's time to end this charade and cancel the Olympic Games after 2022. Between the rampant cheating from the Russians in Sochi to countries bribing to get the games it's not in the spirit that the Olympic Games were meant to be.

Qustions over Tokyo 2020 bid are spreading far and wide

It has now been established that the first payment, of $950,000, was made for a contract with Black Tidings that ran from 1 July to 30 September 2013 for consultation on lobbying activities. According to Takeda, the second contract worth $1.375m ran from 5 October to 30 November and included “analysis on bid winning factors”.

We are being asked to believe $1.375m was knowingly paid after the bid was won for what was described by Nobumoto Higuchi, the deputy chief executive of the now dissolved bidding committee, to Kyodo News as a 30-40 page document on how they did it. “It had a good deal of substance in it,” he said.

If esta were still in existence, she would say it's all BRIBERTY AND LEIS.
