SOUNDBITE: (English) Marius Vizer, SportAccord president and International Judo Federation president

"I always try to develop a constructive collaboration with the IOC and with President Bach. A collaboration, based on respect, towards the Olympic movement, it's members and the value in which I believe. Unfortunately it never became a reality. I made a number of proposals in favour and for the benefits of the IOC and SportAccord, but we never received a positive reaction. Mr. President (Thomas Bach) stop blocking the SportAccord strategy in its mission to identify and organise the convention and multi-sports games. Do not try to create a theory around which sports are and are not eligible for the multi-sport games. Do not try to impose the organiser of Sport Accord events how to distribute funds generated and earned by ourselves. Do not interfere in the autonomy of the sports organisations. The main joint platform of the IF's (international Federations) is SportAccord, it is the unique platform that unites all International Federations. The Olympic bid cities are blocked from making presentations or exhibiting the candidature at Sport Accord Conventions. The voting for potential host cities of the Olympic Games is compromised, key stake holders are excluded from making informed decisions when selecting Olympic host cities."
