  • The Eland Catalogue, No. 14

    The Eland Catalogue, No. 14

    Welcome to the Eland Catalogue, No. 14 In 1982, John Hatt set up Eland. His office was his attic, perched at the top of his house on a grid of 19th-century terraced streets. Thus was Eland born, earning its identity from a South London street named after a large African antelope, which had been nicknamed by a Dutch-African back in the 17th-century, half-remembering the German slang for an elk. Only later did we find out that there had been an old Devonian family of bookseller-publishers called Eland, who worked in the close of Exeter Cathedral, a football stadium in Leeds and an Anglo-Saxon manor in Yorkshire that survived the Norman conquest. But it is to the large, docile, spiral-horned antelope that we owe our brand name. They sound fine animals these African Elands. A bull can stand six feet tall at the shoulder and weigh over two thousand pounds, so can pretty much barge his way through anything in his path, especially when backed up by the rest of the herd. Unlike publishers they tend to avoid lunch, preferring to eat at dawn and dusk and digest with a siesta in the middle of the day. When the herd moves in the night, they create a distinctive castanet-like chorus from the clack of their hooves. For tens of thousands of years the Bushmen have honoured the Eland as a trickster god, who assists in trance, dance and spirit travel. The Eland has now and then been domesticated (their milk keeps well) but they are essentially nomadic, which is true for those who work at Eland, who have spent as much of their time as journalists, writers, editors, dog-whisperers and dragoman-guides as behind a desk.

    International Sports Law Review Sport, Ethics and the Law1

    Page1 International Sports Law Review 2017 Sport, ethics and the law1 Michael J. Beloff QC* Subject: Sport . Other related subjects: Criminal law. Jurisprudence. Keywords: Cheating at gambling; Corruption; Ethics; Misuse of drugs; Organised crime; Sporting organisations; Sportspersons *I.S.L.R. 3 In 2011 I was sitting in the stadium in Daegu, the city which was hosting the World Athletics Championships, eagerly anticipating the final of the men’s 100m, the blue riband event of track and field. I was in the company of Sir Craig Reedie, a Vice President of the International Olympic Committee and currently the Chairman of the World Anti-Doping Agency. As those of you who follow the sport of track and field may remember, Usain Bolt, the much-medalled Jamaican sprinter, false started and was disqualified. This was a tribute to the integrity and resolve of the Korean official in charge of the start who insisted on the rules being observed, even though at the same time he disappointed millions of spectators throughout the world. But immediately after this dramatic incident, Sir Craig turned to me and said "Michael, I would be very interested tomorrow to see the trends in the Asian betting markets". I hasten to say that there is not the slightest evidence that Mr Bolt’s false start was deliberate or designed to assist a sophisticated gambling conspiracy. It was obviously an unfortunate error by an over-enthusiastic athlete determined to give not the slightest advantage to his competitors. But that so worldly-wise and experienced a sports administrator as Sir Craig could even suggest that the false start might be other than accidental shows how deep run the concerns about whether we sports fans are being constantly deceived by what we see on track, pitch, road or across country, in stadium, velodrome or pool.
