Not only are priceless Olympic qualification quotas up for grabs, but it is also the penultimate opportunity for the world’s very best Short Track skaters to put down a marker ahead of February’s Korean showpiece. The competition is coming to the boil at just the right time. The Canadian and, to a slightly lesser extent, Dutch and Chinese squads responded impressively to the Republic of Korea’s domination of the season-opening event in Budapest, Hungary. Last time out, in Dordrecht, Netherlands, Canada’s skaters claimed three of the eight gold medals on offer, matching the Republic of Korea, with the Dutch and Chinese taking one each. In total, athletes representing five different nations have triumphed in the 2017 World Cup season so far, with a further five winning at least one medal. These are the kind of numbers which not only suggest a dynamic competition in Shanghai, but a hugely exciting two weeks in PyeongChang next year.

INTERPOL Integrity in Sport Bi-Weekly Bulletin 11-25 May 2021 INVESTIGATIONS National Financial Prosecutor’s Office (PNF) Suspicion of a match-fixing around PSG-Red Star Belgrade: the investigation closed The National Financial Prosecutor’s Office (PNF) has closed its preliminary investigation into suspicions of rigging of the Champions League match between Paris-SG and the Red Star of Belgrade in October 2018, said Thursday the lawyer of the Serbian club , confirming information from the Team. The PNF informed lawyers of this decision on May 7 in a classification notice. An investigation for “criminal association” with a view to the commission of an offense of sports corruption and with a view to the commission of an offense of fraud in an organized gang was opened after the match. According to The team, which had revealed this investigation, the European football authorities (UEFA) had been alerted before the meeting of October 3, 2018 that a leader of the Red Star was preparing to invest nearly five million euros on a defeat of his team by five goals. However on October 3, 2018, the PSG had beaten the Serbs 6 to 1. “Since the start of the investigation, the Red Star has expressed its wish to collaborate in this investigation and to identify the source of this malicious and anonymous denunciation.“, Me Antoine Vey, lawyer for the Serbian club, told AFP.”It is therefore a satisfaction to note that nothing has made it possible to confirm this false allegation.“ “There remains the question of the damage caused to the club on which we will see if we take legal action or not.“, he added.
