It is obvious that John isn’t a part of any dispute and worked on the behalf of the Australian Organizing committee. He is delighted to offer grants and sports assistance to the NOCs of Kenya and Uganda. The program offers assistance to the African NOCs for a long time.

The grants are not involved in breach of any IOC candidature rules that exists for a long time. Some of the grants were banned by the IOC and the obvious reason was corruption. This corruption scandal revolves around Salt Lake City’s successful bid for hosting the 2002 Winter Olympics.
