There is a little blub on the AP wire today:
Dick Pound is considering a new job in the Olympic movement.The Montreal lawyer, who steps down as chief of the World Anti-Doping Agency in November, said Monday he is a candidate to become the president of the Court of Arbitration for Sport, the highest tribunal in the sports world.
Good God, no.
The way Dick Pound has handled the doping issues in cycling (at best, shooting off his mouth without a full grasp of the facts) has raised my blood pressure for years, and this week, he pulled the same bullshit on the NHL.
There's an old Sally Jenkins column from 2004 that sums Mr. Pound up nicely.
Nearly everything that I can say about him requires language far stronger than I like to use on the blog.
