Comments Thread For: AIBA To Send Home Officials After Decisions Debacle

[- Ram Raid -]

In no way shape or form is that appropriate action. Two weeks ago, before the games even started this is a snippet of what the press were reporting concerning AIBA and Rio 2016:

"Horrified senior officials within the sport believe a cabal of officials are able to use their power to manipulate the draw and the judging system to ensure certain boxers will win.

One senior figure said there was “no doubt” some of the judges and referees in Rio “will be corrupted”. He alleged a group of referees get together before major championships to decide how to score certain bouts."

The organisation can't be trusted to police itself. It can't even put out a press release without an inadvertent Freudian slip, or maybe it was purposeful and they just don't give a flying ****.

"AIBA will not shy away from its responsibilities and is fully committed to a zero tolerance policy towards fair play in boxing. . ."

Zero tolerance towards fair play. Bellends.

The same decisions happened to Mayweather vs Pacquiao fight. Boxing is corrupt!

Lmao!! There's no room for fair play in Olympic boxing and the AIBA will strive toward maintaining the utmost level of bias and corruption that the boxing public has grown accustomed to and grown to expect.

I think its funny too that just yesterday or Monday they were defending these decisions with talk of "impartiality" and "not favoring one country over another" and now they're sending officials home. Which is it? Its funny they say they have less than a handful of questionable decisions when I can think of 4 off the top of my head. It casts Olympic boxing, and the sport of boxing as a whole in a very bad light. What was supposed to be good publicity for the sport, and for the pugilists themselves, has turned into a PR nightmare

Sad because the sport of boxing is affected by the poor scoring at the Olympics and has been for decades. The committees keep making changes in the scoring system thinking it will help without realizing finding competent referees that are honest is the realistic answer.
Olympic boxing has lost so much creditability over the years, at this point it is hard to believe they will ever get it back!

That first paragraph is like reading their pubic statement whilst wearing truth goggles. The whole edifice of international level amateur sport really is crumbling. Corrupt AIBA sit suckling the purified tit milk of the IOC and we're all supposed to look on as if we're too naive to acknowledge just how sickening the whole spectacle really is.

The difference being here is that it's not the athletes, their coaches and respective national organisations robbing titles off each other whilst freebasing microdosed PEDs through their eyeballs. It's slovenly vampiric officials sucking the life dreams out of amateur athletes who've been working their bollocks off for years usually in the context of an improvised background.

They've pinned a lack of understanding of the scoring system at this Olympics as the reason why some results have been met with a backlash.

There's also a transparency issue here as to the extent of the action they've taken. They won't name any of the officials that action has been taken against or state how many of them there are. Colombia’s Armando Carbonell, who officiated in the Evgeny Tishchenko gold-medal bout isn't among them though so its difficult to fathom you would be sent home if his judging is considered above board and 'competent'.
