Havelange . 20 years worth of skewed conduct , "clumsy" .
Brown envelope syndrome or what ? Still breaking news . cant say I am surprised , Olympics were also a gravy train for some . Where theres no independent jurisdiction to oversee and review actions , there will always be miscreants . Thats partly whats wrong with governments too , if they lose they change the rules .

That would be "take it back " vubiant , would it not ? Always bought into the nearest decent sized land mass myself as "ownership" of islands logic . I never applied that to Ireland though , despite certain ambiguities arising from history .
