I think the issue we have is what we call the “autonomy of sport”, this autonomous system that allows them to work outside the civil system of law and civil society. That is really a systemic model that was been incurred by our integrating the Olympic movement into the design of our Canadian sport system.
What's happened is that that model of the court of arbitration, that system, that practice of mediation and arbitral law in a country designed around a sovereign foundation to it, to which that's being mitigated or modelled here in Canada as a very similar parallel.... Our Canadian sport system is a mini model of the Olympic system internationally. What happens is that that behaviour is a continuous system allowing the organizations to be able to work within this autonomy so that they don't have the oversight.
What I was able to do through my process... because they tried for nine years to be able to oppress me personally to limit that knowledge.... That came down not just from the national level, but from Sport Canada, through the World Anti-Doping Agency, through the UCI right up to the push.... It was the IOC driving it into Canada. It wasn't Canada driving it out to into the international sport system and integrating with the IOC about it. It was foreign interference coming in from the IOC. I feared because of what I knew and what happened to me and the world finding out about it.
The autonomous system is designed specifically to limit that liability and that brand impact to the IOC and to the Olympic movement.
