What on earth does that mean? They certainly are no longer a power when it comes to winning athletic events  :P

I really wonder if it would make the slightest difference if he called a press conference and announced "I am the mastermind behind all the corruption! And I enjoyed doing it! Any you can't stop me from doing it again - Muahahaha!"  :hmm:

FIFA has basically done that on multiple occasions already.

I wish there were more Soviet era movies with English subtitles.  I hear they made some halfway decent war flicks.

Have you seen Come and See?

Nope, but I think I've heard of it.  Will seek it out, thanks.
