We took a road trip from Nairobi to Kisii with me in the back, driver got pulled over 4x by police who just straight up asked for coffee money. On the way back, I rode in the front seat (with my red Kenya Rugby hat and nice camera) and you could actually see them stop waving us over when they saw a white guy that might be a reporter in the car

I'm not sure if this should go in the Corruption thread but Ajax have admitted that they didn't deal with Abdelhak Nouri's cardiac arrest appropriately.

I believe this is the first time that a club has admitted to negligence in regard to a player having a cardiac arrest during a match.

While it’s great that they are saying they hosed up, everything they are saying is so vague that it’s hard to say that they are actually being transparent. And, even then, saying they hosed up the on field treatment doesn’t prevent someone from collapsing on the field again.

But I’m still trying to wrap my head around what it could be. So they thought he had a heart beat on the field (meaning they wouldn’t start chest compressions) which was confirmed by an AED after inadequate resus, but they got new information from the family that changes that? And because of that, all the basic poo poo they teach in a CPR class was not done correctly?

Swedish style? No.
Yugoslavian style? Of course not.
It has to be Zlatan-style.

I think they're saying that they took what was the right course of action based on the evidence at the time, but that evidence was not complete or inaccurate and as such the actions taken failed to save his life. If they'd had all the data at the time, they'd have done something different, but they didn't and so they didn't.

It reads like they realize now that they could have done certain steps better but failed to do so because they lacked the proper expertise or experience.

Surprising at all that they’d say all this at all. It’s certainly something a lawyer would tell you not to say. Maybe it’s part of a deal with the family.

Here’s my understanding of what they are saying: because the doctors on the field found a pulse, they didn’t use the defibrillator, and focused on clearing the players airway. The expert who reviews the case also concluded that this was correct, because the player had a pulse.

Now they’re saying they should have used the defibrillator earlier, presumably because there was something wrong with everyone pointing to the fact that this dude had a pulse. But they never actually say what was wrong about this determination, so you don’t know if there was an equipment failure, if they made a bad decision, or something else.


But yeah, this totally sounds like something they agreed to say in a settlement.

The Sunday Times has a new story alleging that Qatar's 2022 bid sabotaged other bids for the World Cup (separate from, but in addition to, the rampant bribery of FIFA officials). They claim a whistleblower from the bid team leaked a bunch of internal documents to them.

https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/44994041

quote:

The paper claims to have seen leaked documents that show the Qatari bid team employed a US PR firm and ex-CIA agents to smear its rivals - mainly the United States and Australia.

The alleged aim was to create propaganda to give the impression that a World Cup would not be supported domestically. The Qatar tournament organisers deny the allegations.

Such a campaign alleged by the Sunday Times would have broken Fifa's bidding rules.



quote:

The Qatar bid team is alleged to have employed the New York office of communications company Brown Lloyd Jones, which is now BLJ Worldwide, along with a team of former intelligence officers to run a campaign aimed at undermining one of Fifa's key criteria in the bidding process - that each bid should have strong backing at home.

Likely that the writers had no contact and were not aware of the funder of the propaganda. Firms like this wouldn't be around long if they disclosed who they were ultimately working for. Sounds like BLJ found a lovely anti-foreigner rear end in a top hat to pen a paper about how immigrants and browns = bad.
