Biathlon report outlines corrupt conduct, favors for Russia
SALZBURG, Austria (AP) A report commissioned by the International Biathlon Union stated Thursday there is evidence of “systematic corrupt and unethical conduct at the very top” of the sport’s governing body, especially in protecting Russia on doping issues.
The report, published in a redacted version, accuses former IBU president Anders Besseberg of intensely lobbying for Russia’s interests and showing little interest in pursuing doping cases which might embarrass the country.
It also said Besseberg, who ran the sport for 25 years, was taken on hunting and fishing trips for free in Russia and had IBU employees transport his trophies. The report cites evidence from a police investigation that Besseberg admitted that he “received the service of a prostitute” while staying in Moscow, which he believed had been paid for by a third party.
