Monaco, IAAF headquarters.
"Mr. President, I have investigated. The matter of impeaching you this time is indeed the ghost of Diak!" the assistant said seriously.
"Sure enough, this old man!" Sebastian sneered. "He had collected so much money during his presidency of the IAAF. I haven't troubled him yet. Instead, he did it for me first!"
Regarding the corruption of Diak, Sebastian originally planned to investigate after the London Olympics. Of course, this investigation is not because of Sebastian’s sense of justice, but because Sebastian intends to use this opportunity to eradicate dissidents and take full control of the IAAF in his own hands. This is like a new emperor ascending the throne. After the seat is firmly seated, it is an unreasonable means to remove all former officials and replace them with your own.
But after all, Diac has been the chairman of the IAAF for more than a decade, and he is not a fuel-efficient lamp. Collecting black money is a matter of imprisonment. Diak doesn’t want to die in prison, so when Zhang Guan provided Diak with the message of
excitation period excitement
, Diak decided to start with the strong and move To Sebastian.
It's about whether you go to jail or not. Diac of course exhausted some of his connections. Sebastian should be pulled from the position of IAAF president. It would be better if he can be replaced by his own person. In the IAAF, there are many old people of the Diak era. They were not clean at the time. They also worried that once Diak was investigated, they would be affected. They might also go to jail, so they chose to stand. On the side of Diac. They all support the impeachment of Sebastian.
So there are three forces within the IAAF, one is to support Diac, the other is to support Sebastian, and the third is neutral. By comparison, the people who support Diak are more active. They really don’t want to be detected and then go to jail. Naturally, they are desperate to help Diak.
And those who support Sebastian, because there is no corruption imprisoned in the back, so they are not as hard as their opponents. Anyway, even if Sebastian stepped down, they can still stay in the IAAF to get a good salary.
The Diac side is fighting back, and the Sebastian side is step by step. Sure enough, it is a high sentence. In just one week, Sebastian has not even had time to organize an effective counterattack and impeach Sebastian. Ann's affairs were settled. Sebastian will be the first IAAF president to be impeached in history.
Sebastian narrowed his eyes slightly, tapped the table with his fingers, and said at the same time: "Implementation has been unavoidable, so what we have to do is to let the impeachment pass. I am still the chairman, and the choice of impeachment voting plan , Has the initiative."
"Yes, Mr. President, the council has proposed a total of two voting options." The assistant went on to say: "The first is to convene all IAAF member countries and then vote."
"All member countries? We have a total of 214 member countries." Sebastian frowned, and then said: "No, if all member countries vote together, the vote for impeachment is definitely the majority. Dia Kyrgyzstan is from Africa. More than 50 members of Africa will definitely favor Diak. They will definitely favor impeachment. On the European side, Eastern Europe is biased toward Russia. They will also favor impeachment. Northern and Southern Europe are likely to be neutral. Only Western and Central Europe will support me; more than 40 member countries in Asia should also support impeachment; the remaining Americas plus Oceania, there are only more than 60 member countries, even if they vote against Impeachment is also difficult to reach the majority. I will eventually fail."
"Then the only option is the second option." The assistant continued: "The second option is an internal vote of the IAAF Council."
"The head vote inside the council? The chairman plus the vice-chairman are five people, one treasurer, six representatives from each continent track and field association, 15 directors, a total of 27 votes?" Sebastian asked.
"No, because you are a party, you cannot participate in the voting yourself, so the council has a total of 26 votes. In addition, there are the following five committees, each with a vote." The assistant said.
There are five major committees under International Natural Insurance, namely the Medical Committee, the Technical Committee, the Women’s Committee, the Cross Country Committee, the Race Walking Committee and the Old Athletes Committee. The status of the chairman of the committee is equivalent to the director of the IAAF Council.
"Together with 6 committees, a total of 32 votes! It's an even number." Sebastian frowned slightly.
This kind of voting is essentially a minority obeying the majority. Even a double number of votes is a very troublesome thing. If the number of votes for and against is the same, who will listen? Especially when the number of voters is relatively small, there will be equal votes. Therefore, the councils and main committees of many institutions are singular.
The assistant said from the side: "A total of 33 votes. In addition to the above personnel, there is a third party representative."
"A third party representative? A person from the IOC?" Sebastian asked.
"No, it is the athlete's representative. This is the answer discussed by the Council." The assistant continued: "Choosing a good and representative track and field athlete as a third-party representative. They think it is more capable than the International Olympic Committee On behalf of the IAAF."
"The answer discussed by the council? I think it's Diak's ghost! Okay, who are the athlete representatives?" Sebastian then asked.
"I have a list of players here, and I will choose one. For the sake of fairness, the council also wants to get your opinions." The assistant submitted a list.
Sebastian glanced at the personnel list, but did not find a British or American athlete.
"Who drafted this list? The United States is the world's largest track and field country. Why is there no American athlete on the list?" Sebastian asked.
The assistant hesitated and said, "In order to avoid suspicion, all athletes with doping immunity will not be included in this list."
Sebastian's eyes flashed suddenly. Among the track and field athletes, almost all of them support Sebastian’s athletes from the Anglo-American countries. However, those excellent track and field athletes from the Anglo-American countries, Sebastian has granted them doping immunity.
The reason for this impeachment of Sebastian is because of the doping exemption, so those athletes who benefited from this are definitely not suitable for participating in the final impeachment vote.
"No wonder you have chosen track and field athletes as a third party. The old fellow Diac had already thought about this!" Sebastian snorted and began to carefully check the list.
The first name on the list is Zhang Guan! As the king of track and field in the world, perhaps Zhang Guan is the most representative track and field athlete.
But Sebastian will never allow Zhang Guan to vote. If Zhang Guan comes to vote, 100% agree to impeach.
"Zhang Guan, certainly not!" Sebastian vetoed directly.
"Ethiopia long-distance running Beckler, Dibaba, Kenya middle-run Jeremo, these three are not good. African athletes must all be one with Diak, and besides, Becker, Dibaba and Jeremy are all Diak. When the IAAF president rises as an athlete, they will be persuaded by Diac and vote for it." Sebastian also rejected three athletes.
"Ishimbayeva, Lebedeva, Ostapchuk, they are all Russian athletes. No, neither can choose Russian athletes. Because of doping exemptions, the Russian Federation of Athletics Federations is still asking me for trouble. !If Russian athletes are allowed to vote, they will definitely vote in favor."
Sebastian took a deep depression, a deep breath. There are a lot of athletes who support him, but they are all blocked by the threshold of doping exemption. The rest of the people are standing on their opposites.
Suddenly, Sebastian saw a name.
"Ussein Bolt! Jamaican Bolt! I remember Bolt just won the 100m and 200m gold medals at the London Olympics!" Sebastian said.
Zhang Guan did not participate in the 100-meter and 200-meter sprints, and Bolt immediately ruled these two events. Although Bolt did not break the world record for Zhang Guan, he still won the championship with a huge advantage, which is a round of Bolt's Olympic gold medal dream.
"Bolt, I have seen it many times. It looks like a very simple athlete. Jamaica is also a member of the Commonwealth. I should be able to win the Bolt and let him stand on my side! It can also make him neutral, which is much more reliable than choosing a crown, choosing African athletes or choosing Russian athletes." Sebastian thought of this and put a check behind Bolt's name and said: "This athlete representative, I chose Usain Bolt."
...
"33 votes, I have won 13, and they will definitely vote for the impeachment of Sebastian." Diac's voice rang on the phone.
"13? If the number of votes is over, you need 17 votes, and you need to fight for four more votes!" Zhang Guan said.
"There are two directors who have not stated their position yet, and I may be able to fight for it." Diac continued: "Otherwise, someone may abstain. I think that the third-party representative is likely to abstain." ."
"Third party representative? What third party representative?" Zhang Guan asked.
"There are a total of 27 members on the council and 6 members on the committee, but Sebastian himself did not participate in the voting, and a total of 32 votes were added, so a third-party representative was added. This third-party representative is a track and field athlete."
"Who is it?" Zhang Guan immediately asked.
"If it were you, we would have one more vote, and instead of Bekler, Dibaba, or even Isinbayeva in Russia, they would be on my side." Diac sighed, then Say: "Unfortunately, the final choice is Bolt. I think smart athletes will not be involved in the IAAF's internal battles, he may abstain."
"Bolt!" Zhang Guan breathed a sigh of relief: "If it were him, I might think of a way."
Zhang Guan put down the phone, and there was a smug smile on his face. He said to himself: "Bolte owes me a big favor!
