what do you think of the new president of the CIO ?
The IOC has a new president, Jacques Rogge. My first impressions about him are quite positive : he is strongly and firmly against doping, and he is for the respect of sportivity, is decision of giving the gold medal to the Canadians skater so quickly is new. (there was a precedent case in boxing, but it has take more time).
This man seams to be straight, that's a good thing, the former IOC make the olympic game the major sport event, but was not very clear in all aspects of his life.
What do you think of this ?

Why is that?
Organisation du Traité de l'Atlantique Nord
<strong>Because he's French, and the French usually speak French.
