《震惊!罗格和中国有秘密交易吗?》
今天看到一篇泰晤士报的文章,不敢相信,很震惊!懂英文的朋友瞧一瞧看一看了。
《Olympic chief in ‘secret China deal’》
China made a secret deal with International Olympic Committee president Jacques Rogge to support his election to the post in return for Rogge's lobbying for Beijing to win the 2008 Olympics, according to an explosive new book by China's sports minister at the time, Yuan Weimin.
The former minister says Rogge explicitly bargained with him to win Chinese votes at the Moscow meeting of the IOC in 2001, which awarded the games to Beijing and three days later elected Rogge as president.
The games took place last year under stifling security after worldwide protests over China’s human rights record and demonstrations along the route of the Olympic torch.
Rogge, 67, a Belgian surgeon and former Olympian, has just won-re-election to a second and final term as head of the IOC until 2013.
The IOC chief says the 2008 games were a triumph for the Olympic movement and has defended the choice of Beijing as a decision that engaged China with the world and advanced the cause of reform.
According to extracts from the sport minister's memoirs translated by The Sunday Times, Beijing won thanks to a deceptive strategy to outwit its rivals based on the principles of ancient Chinese warfare.
The book, titled “Yuan Weimin and the winds and clouds of the world of sports”, tells how China’s ruling politburo approved a plan to put Rogge into the top job as a payoff to win European votes for Beijing.
In turn, that meant deceiving their fellow Asian nations, who hoped that an Asian could lead the IOC and who believed they could count on Chinese support.
