MONTREAL - An investigation into the International Weightlifting Federation found widespread corruption and dozens of covered up drugs tests, officials said on Thursday .
The report said Ajan had used a"tyranny of cash" to control the IWF during his decades-long reign, with the Hungarian boss directly pocketing doping fines and regularly withdrawing large sums from the organisation's coffers which remained unaccounted for. "This includes gold and silver medalists who have not had their samples dealt with," the report said.
"The two most recent Electoral Congresses were rampant with vote buying for the President and senior level positions of the Executive Board," the report said. Ajan, 81, who had been at the IWF since 1976 serving 24 years as general secretary and the past 20 as president, denied the allegations."This film has completely ruined my life and 50 years of my work. A large part of my work has been about doping prevention," he said.
