Reporting today in The Guardian writer Sean Ingle never ceases to amaze us with his inside stories on the world of international athletics (track and field) and other sports like football, weightlifting, etc. Today's article implies that Papa Massata son of the late Lamine Diack former head of IAAF may be ready to spill more beans on the kitchen floor of that august body with who was in whose pocket regarding selection of Olympic sites, doping cover ups, and on and on. Even the Brazilians are now imprisoning some of their own people over the revelations of corruption in the selection of Rio for the 2016 Games. Diack died recently with a four year prison sentence over his head and Massata is facing five years if he returns to France, although he is most likely sequestered in an air-conditioned mansion in Dakar, Senegal. I doubt he will be deprived of Chateau Lafitte Rothchild while in exile.
