Chapter 901 Vote for impeachment

Monaco, IAAF Headquarters.

"Mr. Chairman, I have already investigated. The matter of your impeachment this time is really caused by Diack!" the assistant said with a serious face.

"It really is this old man!" Sebastian snorted coldly: "During his tenure as the president of the IAAF, he collected so much black money. I haven't troubled him yet, but he has done it to me first!"

Regarding the issue of Diack's corruption, Sebastian originally planned to start an investigation after the London Olympics. Of course, this kind of investigation is not because of Sebastian's overwhelming sense of justice, but because Sebastian intends to use this opportunity to eradicate dissidents and completely control the IAAF in his own hands. This is like the new emperor ascending the throne. After the seat is firmly established, it is understandable to pull down all the officials of the previous dynasty and replace them with his own people.

But after all, Diack has been the chairman of the IAAF for more than ten years, and he is not a fuel-efficient lamp. Collecting black money is a matter of going to jail. Diack still doesn’t want to die in prison, so when Zhang Guan gave Diack the news of the “excitement period immunity”, Diack decided to act first and move to Sebastian.

It's about whether he will go to jail or not. Of course, Diack has exhausted some of his contacts. If he wants to pull Sebastian from the position of IAAF chairman, it is best to replace him with someone of his own. In the IAAF, there are many old people from the Diack era. Their hands and feet were not clean at the time, and they were also worried that if Diack was investigated, they would be implicated, and they might also go to jail, so they chose to stand. On Diack's side. They all support the impeachment of Sebastian.

As a result, three factions emerged within the IAAF, one supported Diack, the other supported Sebastian, and the third was neutral. In comparison, those who support Diack are more active. They really don't want to be found out for corruption and go to jail, so naturally they desperately help Diack.

And those who supported Sebastian were not as hard-working as their opponents because they were not forced to go to jail for corruption. Anyway, even if Sebastian steps down, they can still stay in the IAAF with a good salary.

Diack's side was fighting to the death, while Sebastian's side was step by step. Sure enough, the judgment was judged. In just one week, Sebastian hadn't even had time to organize an effective counterattack to impeach Sebastian. Ann's matter was confirmed. Sebastian would become the first ever IAAF president to be impeached.

Sebastian squinted his eyes slightly, tapped his fingers on the table, and said at the same time; "Impeachment is inevitable, so what we have to do is to let the impeachment fail. I am still the chairman, and the choice of the impeachment vote plan , has the initiative.”

"Yes, Mr. Chairman, the council has proposed two voting plans." The assistant continued: "The first is to convene all the member countries of the IAAF and then vote."

"All member states? We have a total of 214 member states." Sebastian frowned, and then said: "No, if all member states are asked to vote together, the votes for impeachment must be in the majority. Dia Ke is from Africa, more than 50 African members will definitely favor Diack, and they will definitely support impeachment; in Europe, Eastern Europe is biased toward Russia, and they will also favor impeachment, and northern and southern Europe are likely to be biased toward neutrality , only Western Europe and Central Europe will support me; the more than 40 member states in Asia should also support impeachment; the rest of the Americas plus Oceania, there are only more than 60 member states in total, even if they all vote against it Impeachment is also very difficult to achieve a majority. In the end, I will still lose."

"Then we have to choose the second option." The assistant continued: "The second option is an internal vote of the IAAF Council."

"Voting within the council? There are five chairmen and vice chairmen, one treasurer, six representatives from continental athletics associations, and 15 directors. Is there a total of 27 votes?" Sebastian asked.

"No, since you are the person involved, you cannot vote in person, so the council has a total of 26 votes. In addition, there are five committees below, each with one vote." The assistant said.

There are six committees under the International Natural Insurance, namely the Medical Committee, the Technical Committee, the Women's Committee, the Cross-Country Committee, the Race Walking Committee and the Veteran Athlete Committee. The status of the Chairman of the Committee is equivalent to that of a member of the IAAF Council.

"Including 6 committees, the total is 32 votes! It's an even number." Sebastian frowned slightly.

Voting is essentially a matter of the minority obeying the majority, and an even number of votes is a very troublesome thing. If the number of votes for and against is the same, who will listen to? Especially when the number of voters is relatively small, there will be an equal number of votes. Therefore, the councils and main committees of many organizations are singular.

The assistant said from the side: "A total of 33 votes. In addition to the above-mentioned personnel, there is also a third-party representative."

"A third-party representative? Someone from the International Olympic Committee?" Sebastian asked.

"No, it is the athlete representative. This is the answer discussed by the council." The assistant continued: "Select an excellent and representative track and field athlete as a third-party representative. They think this is more capable than the International Olympic Committee." On behalf of the IAAF."

"The answer discussed by the council? I think it's Diack's trick again! Well, who are the athlete representatives?" Sebastian continued to ask.

"I have a list of players here, and I will choose one from it. For the sake of fairness, the council also wants to ask for your opinion." The assistant handed over a list.

Sebastian glanced at the roster, but found no British or American athletes.

"Who drew up this list? The United States is the world's largest track and field country. Why is there no American athlete on the list?" Sebastian asked.

The assistant hesitated for a moment, and then said: "To avoid suspicion, all athletes with doping immunity will not be included in this list."

Sebastian's eyes flashed coldly. Among the track and field athletes, those who support Sebastian are almost all athletes from the British and American countries. However, Sebastian has granted them doping immunity for those outstanding track and field athletes from the British and American countries.

The impeachment of Sebastian this time was caused by the doping immunity incident, so those athletes who benefited from it are definitely not suitable to participate in the final impeachment vote.

"No wonder you choose track and field athletes as the third party. That old guy Diack has already thought of this!" Sebastian snorted coldly and began to carefully check the list.

The first name on the list is Zhang Guan! As the king of world track and field, perhaps Zhang Guan is the most representative track and field athlete.

But Sebastian would never allow Zhang Guanlai to vote. If Zhang Guanlai voted, he would agree to impeachment 100%.

"Zhang Guan, definitely not!" Sebastian directly vetoed it.

"Ethiopian long-distance runners Bekele and Dibaba, and Kenyan mid-range runner Jeremo, these three people are not good. African athletes must be one-hearted with Diack. Besides, Bekele, Dibaba and Jeremo are all Diack. When the IAAF president rises, they will be persuaded by Diack to vote for it." Sebastian vetoed three more athletes.

"Isinbayeva, Lebedeva, Ostapchuk, they are all Russian athletes. No, you can't choose Russian athletes. Because of the doping exemption, the Russian Athletics Federation is still looking for me. ! If Russian athletes were to vote, they would definitely vote yes."

Sebastian took a deep breath a little depressed. It is said that there are many athletes who support him, but they are all blocked by the threshold of doping immunity, and the remaining people are probably on the opposite side of themselves.

Suddenly, Sebastian saw a name.

"Usain Bolt! Jamaican Bolt! I remember Bolt just won the 100-meter and 200-meter gold medals at the London Olympics!" Sebastian said.

Zhang Guan did not participate in the track and field 100-meter and 200-meter sprints, and Bolt immediately dominated these two events. Although Bolt did not break Zhang Guan's world record, he still won the championship with a huge advantage. This can be regarded as fulfilling Bolt's dream of an Olympic gold medal.

"Bolt, I've seen him many times. He looks like a very down-to-earth athlete. Jamaica is also a member of the Commonwealth of Nations. I should be able to win over Bolt and let him stand on my side! No matter what It can also make him neutral, which is much more reliable than choosing Zhang Guan, African athletes or Russian athletes.” Sebastian thought of this, ticked Bolt’s name, and said: "This athlete representative, I choose Usain Bolt."

...

"I've won 13 of the 33 voting places. They will definitely vote for the impeachment of Sebastian." Diack's voice sounded on the phone.

"13? If the number of votes is too high, you need 17 votes, and you need to fight for four more votes!" Zhang Guan said.

"There are two directors who have not expressed their views. I may be able to win them over." Diack continued: "In addition, someone may abstain from voting. I guess that third-party representative is likely to abstain. .”

"Third-party representative? What third-party representative?" Zhang Guan asked.

"There are 27 members in the council and 6 members in the committee, but Sebastian himself did not participate in the voting, so the total was 32 votes, so a third-party representative was added. This third-party representative is a track and field athlete."

"Who is it?" Zhang Guan immediately asked.

"If it were you, we would have one more vote. Bekele, Dibaba, or even Russia's Isinbayeva would be on my side." Diack sighed softly, and continued Said: "Unfortunately, the final choice is Bolt. I think smart athletes will not be connected to the internal battle of the IAAF. He may abstain."

"Bolt!" Zhang Guan let out a sigh of relief: "If it was him, I might think of a way."

Zhang Guan put down the phone, with a smug smile on his face, he said to himself: "Bolt owes me a huge favor!
