Spa-Francorchamps. BMW Team MTEK has finished in fourth place in the World Endurance Championship (WEC) 6 Hours of Spa-Francorchamps (BEL) with the #82 BMW M8 GTE and drivers António Félix da Costa (POR) and Augusto Farfus (BRA). The #81 sister-car of Martin Tomcyzk (GER) and Nicky Catsburg (NED) finished in ninth place in the GTE-Pro class at the end of the weather-affected race. The penultimate round of the WEC played host to sunshine, rain, hail and snow, making tyre choices and strategy calls key to success. Reactions to the 6 Hours of Spa-Francorchamps: Rudolf Dittrich (General Manager BMW Motorsport Vehicle Development): “Our race here in Spa was very varied, with all sorts of weather conditions, from sunshine to hail to snow. The GTE-Pro field is very well balanced, so the spectators could see exciting position battles in all weathers throughout the race. It’s a shame the team didn’t manage to get a better result but we are looking forward to the final of the WEC Super Season in Le Mans.” Ernest Knoors (BMW Team MTEK, Team Principal): “The race was completely dominated by the weather today.

  • Sociology of a Scandal
    Soccer & Society, 2016 http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/14660970.2016.1228591 Sociology of a scandal: the emergence of ‘FIFAgate’ Emmanuel Baylea* and Hervé Raynerb aInstitut of Sport Sciences (ISSUL), University of Lausanne, Lausanne, Switzerland; bResearch Centre for Political Action (CRAPUL), University of Lausanne, Lausanne, Switzerland This article examines the social forces underlying FIFAgate. Why do corrupt practices, which are often highly consolidated or even institutionalized, suddenly become scandalous? What is a scandal? Why did FIFA fall into crisis in 2015 and not before? To answer these questions, it is necessary to look at the sequence of thrusts and parries between all the parties involved. Our analysis embraces the notion that social processes are based on relationships in order to provide insights into why and how denunciations can lead to long-tolerated corrupt practices sud- denly becoming compromising enough to force an organization’s leaders to implement measures that would have previously been unimaginable. We use mul- tiple sources to examine the emergence of FIFAgate and the way FIFA overcame previous critical situations, describing how FIFA neutralized earlier allegations and developed a remarkable ‘resilience’ to scandal. Finally, we analyse the suc- cessive mobilizations whose domino effect led to the emergence of FIFAgate and the measures FIFA took to contain the scandal. Our research enabled us to draw up a new theoretical model for analysing corruption scandals. Introduction Christian Favre, journalist, radio news presenter: ‘To conclude, does Sepp Blatter, as we are often told, does he run his FIFA honestly or not?’ Joël Robert, journalist, head of the sports desk: ‘Well, you know, he runs it honestly because, logically and legally, there have been legal proceedings, but Blatter and FIFA have never been caught out.
