Chapter 1 Voting for Impeachment

"Mr. President, I have investigated, and the matter of impeaching you this time is really Diack's ghost!" The assistant said with a serious face.

"Sure enough, it's this old horseman!" Sebastian snorted coldly: "When he was the president of the IAAF, he collected so much black money, and I haven't troubled him yet, but he did it to me first!" ”

Regarding Diack's corruption, Sebastian had planned to start an investigation after the London Olympics. Of course, this investigation is not because Sebastian has a strong sense of justice, but because Sebastian intends to use this opportunity to eradicate dissidents and take the IAAF completely into his own hands. This is like the new emperor ascending the throne, and after he has secured his seat, he will pull all the officials of the previous dynasty off the horse and replace them with his own people, which is an understandable means.

But Diack, after all, has been the president of the IAAF for more than a decade, and he is not a fuel-efficient lamp. Diack didn't want to die in prison yet, so when Zhang Guan provided Diack with the news of the "excitement period exemption", Diack decided to take the lead and move to Sebastian.

When it comes to whether he will go to jail or not, Diack has certainly exhausted some connections to pull Sebastian from the IAAF presidency, preferably with his own person. In the IAAF, there are many old people from the Diack era, who were not clean at that time, and they were also worried that once Diack was investigated, they would also be affected, and maybe they would also go to jail, so they chose to side with Diack. They all supported the impeachment of Sebastian.

As a result, there were three factions within the IAAF, one was for Diack, the second was for Sebastian, and the third was neutral. In comparison, the people who support Diack are more positive, they really don't want to be found out about corruption and go to jail, so they naturally try their best to help Diack.

And those who support Sebastian are not as hard as their opponents because they are not forced to go to prison for corruption. Anyway, even if Sebastian steps down, they can still stay in the IAAF and earn a good salary.

Diack's side was fighting with his back, and Sebastian's side was on the same page, and it was indeed a superior sentence, and in just one week, Sebastian didn't even have time to organize an effective counterattack, and the impeachment of Sebastian was confirmed. Sebastian will become the first IAAF president ever to be impeached.

Sebastian squinted slightly, tapped his fingers on the table, and spoke; "Impeachment is inevitable, so what we need to do is let the impeachment not pass. I am still the chairman, and I have the initiative in the choice of impeachment vote. ”

"Yes, Mr. President, there are two voting options proposed by the Council." The assistant continued: "The first is to convene all the IAAF member states and then vote. ”

"All Member States? We have a total of 214 member countries. Sebastian frowned, then added: "No, if all member states were to vote together, there would have been a majority in favor of impeachment." Diack is of African origin, and the more than 50 members of Africa will definitely favor Diack, and they will definitely be in favor of impeachment; On the European side, Eastern Europe is biased towards Russia, and they will also be in favor of impeachment, Northern and Southern Europe are likely to be biased towards neutrality, and only Western and Central Europe will support me; The more than 40 member states in Asia should also be in the majority of those who support impeachment; The rest of the Americas, plus Oceania, have only more than 60 member states, and even if they all voted against impeachment, it would be difficult to reach a majority. I'm going to fail in the end. ”

"Then there's only the second option." The assistant continued: "The second option is an internal vote on the IAAF Council. ”

"Head vote within the council? Is there a total of 27 votes for the chairman and vice chairman, 1 treasurer, 6 representatives of the continental athletics associations, and 15 directors? Sebastian asked.

"No, because you are the party, you cannot vote in person, so the council has a total of 26 votes. In addition to this, there are five committees, each with one vote. The assistant spoke.

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

"With 6 committees, it's 32 votes in total! 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, in case the number of votes for and against is the same, who will listen? Especially when the number of voters is relatively small, there will be a situation where the number of votes is equal. Therefore, the boards and chairs of many institutions are singular.

The assistant said, "It's 33 votes in total." In addition to the above-mentioned persons, there is also a third-party representative. ”

"Third-party representatives? IOC people? Sebastian asked.

"No, it's the athletes. That was the answer that the Council discussed. The assistant continued: "Select a good, representative track and field athlete as a third-party representative. They believe that this is more representative of the IAAF than the IOC. ”

The answer that the Board discussed? I think Diack did it again! Well, who are the athlete representatives? Sebastian asked.

"I have a list of players here, and I will pick one of them. In the interest of fairness, the Board would like to seek your input as well. The assistant handed over a list.

Sebastian glanced at the roster, but found not a single British or American athlete.

"Who drew up this list? The United States is the world's number one track and field country, why is there not a single American athlete on the list? Sebastian asked.

The assistant hesitated, but then said: "In order to avoid suspicion, all athletes with doping exemptions will not be included in this list." ”

Sebastian's eyes flickered. Among the track and field athletes, almost all of Sebastian's supporters are athletes from British and American countries, but Sebastian has granted them doping exemptions for those outstanding track and field athletes in British and American countries.

And the impeachment of Sebastian this time is because of the doping immunity incident, so those athletes who benefit from it are definitely not suitable to participate in the final impeachment vote.

"No wonder we had to choose track and field athletes as a third party, Diack's old guy had already thought of that!" Sebastian snorted coldly and began to scrutinize the list.

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

But Sebastian will never allow Zhang Guan to vote, and if Zhang Guan comes to vote, he will agree to impeachment 100%.

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

"Ethiopian long-distance runner Bekele and Dibaba, Kenyan mid-distance runner Jeremer, these three people can't do it either. African athletes must all be on the same page as Diack, and Bekele, Dibaba and Jeremer, all athletes who rose to prominence when Diack was president of the IAAF, will be persuaded by Diack to vote in favor. Sebastian vetoed three more athletes.

"Isinbayeva, Lebedeva, Ostapchuk, they are all Russian athletes. No, Russian athletes cannot be selected. Because of the doping exemption, the Russian Athletics Federation is still in trouble with me! If Russian athletes were asked to vote, they would definitely vote in favor. ”

Sebastian took a deep breath in a bit of frustration. It is said that there are many athletes who support him, but they are all blocked by the threshold of doping immunity, and the rest are in opposition to him.

Suddenly, Sebastian sees a name.

"Usain Bolt! Jamaican Usain Bolt! I remember Usain Bolt had just won gold medals in the 100m and 200m at the London Olympics. Sebastian spoke.

Zhang Guan did not compete in the 100m and 200m sprints, and Bolt immediately dominated both events. Although Usain Bolt did not break the world record of Zhang Guan, he still won the championship by a huge margin, which can be regarded as fulfilling Bolt's dream of an Olympic gold medal.

"Usain Bolt, I've seen him many times, seems to be a very simple athlete, Jamaica is also a member of the Commonwealth, I should be able to win over Bolt and put him on my side! No matter how bad it is, it can make him neutral, which is much more reliable than choosing Zhang Guan, choosing African athletes, or choosing Russian athletes. Thinking of this, Sebastian put a tick behind Bolt's name and said, "This athlete representative, I choose Usain Bolt." ”

……

"Out of 33 votes, I've won 13, and they'll definitely vote for the impeachment of Sebastian." Diack's voice rang on the phone.

"13? If the number of votes is passed, 17 votes are required, and four more votes need to be sought! Zhang Guan said.

"There are two directors who haven't expressed their position yet, and I may be able to fight for them." Diack continued: "Otherwise, maybe someone will abstain. I suspect that the third-party representative will most likely abstain from voting. ”

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

"There were 27 members on the board and 6 on the committee, but Sebastian himself did not participate in the vote, so there were 32 votes, so a third-party representative was added. This third-party representative is an athletics athlete. ”

"Who is it?" Zhang Guan immediately asked.

"If it were you, we would have one more vote, and Bekele, Dibaba, and even Russia's Isinbayeva would be on my side." Diack sighed lightly and continued, "Unfortunately, it was Usain Bolt who chose in the end. I don't think a smart athlete will get involved in the IAAF's internal struggles, and he may abstain. ”

"Usain Bolt!" Zhang Guan breathed a sigh instead: "If it's him, I might be able to think of a way." ”

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