ASOIF taskforce to respond to scandals with model governance criteria by which IFs can be openly measured

A governance taskforce launched by the Association of Summer Olympic International Federations last month aims to create a model set of criteria against which federations can be openly and publicly measured, in response to the series of governance, doping and corruption scandals besetting sport in general, and some of ASOIF’s members in particular. These include the corruption scandal at soccer’s Fifa, the doping scandal at athletics’ IAAF and claims earlier this week that tennis has failed to investigate allegations of match-fixing.
