If you don't read Alan Abrahamson's blog and you are interested in Olympic things, start with his most recent piece.
http://www.nbcsports.com/alanabrahamson/blog/2007/06/not_boring_stuff_really.html#more
Abrahamsoon is one of the top two Olympic commentators in the English-speaking world. He has the ear of IOC members, has viewed the sport world for many years, and knows the players well.
This entry, dated June 19, 2007 is about the *new era* in sport. It is really about conducting business openly, with transparency, and with honour. While it refers specifically to the international boxing federation, it could just as easily be referring to NSGBs/NSOs or proovincial sport organizations, or local clubs or municipal government.
The new era has dawned, and those who persist in conducting business the *old* way, will be pushed aside. It is only a matter of time.
