  • Representatives of a national, state funded body were involved. Also at least two who were given one of the highest honours possible by the UK head of state.

    The answer to this is to stop wasting tax payers' money subsidising enterprises which should stand or fall on their own merit, and to abolish the honours system and the monarchy, relics of mediaeval feudalism which have no place in a civilised country. It's pretty rich for politicians to be grandstanding over this while presiding over and benefitting from the very system of corruption, nepotism and self-aggrandisement which creates the incentives which drive grubby little crooks to cheat at games.

    The "honours" system is a who's who of devious venal self-serving little shits. In this report alone we have criticism of Lord Coe, Sir Mo, Sir Brad & Sir Dave. Every time there's a scandal, there's a peer of the realm or a knight or dame right at the head of it. It's not that people suddenly become grubby little crooks upon elevation or ennoblement, it's that the system was always designed to selectively embrace the grubbiest little crooks to the bosom of the bastard sons of robber barons who lay claim to the throne of England, where they can rape and pillage the serfdom to their hearts' content as long as they don't challenge the status quo
