Olympic sport is at a critical crossroads. Struggle. Depending on which path she takes, her course in Greece will be decided.

The recent Panhellenic Championship brought some unpleasant surprises. Out of ten women’s categories, the champion came out without resistance in three, two athletes competed in six and three athletes competed in one. But similar phenomena were observed in men, to a lesser extent. Of the twenty categories in one, the champion did not fight, in one only one duel took place, and in three only three were played.

It’s sad. But more worryingly, reports of sex scandals in sports have resurfaced. Appropriate complaints were filed a few months ago. Only the continuation of the suspension is no good. The competent prosecutor must investigate the case. And if there is at least a grain of truth, let criminal cases be carried out. Otherwise, let the slanderers be condemned.

There is another serious case: the winner of two men’s world medals and a former member of the board of directors. Federation spokesman Giannis Arzoumanidis complained that the team arrived almost at the end of the matches for the purpose of weighing them “only so that the team can secure a vote without participating in the match,” he says. . The union does not deny this. However, they claim that this was due to a problem in the car transporting the athletes, and that permission for the late weigh-in was given by the person in charge of the games, with the consent of the clubs’ coaches.

Therefore, since this is also a serious matter, it must be investigated so that no shadows remain.
