Kosport Magazine: Member Clubs Show Strong Support for FIA President Ben Sulayem
In the world of sports, controversy and drama are never far behind. But in the case of FIA President Ben Sulayem, it seems that the truth has prevailed and his name has been cleared of any wrongdoing.
After a thorough investigation into allegations of interference in two Formula 1 races last year, Sulayem has been exonerated. And in a show of solidarity, more than 30 member clubs have come forward to express their unwavering support for him.
This letter, published on the FIA website, serves as a strong message to those who have been spreading false accusations against Sulayem. The clubs state that they “recommend that the FIA initiate legal action against those who, without cause, slander the FIA and its leadership.”
It is clear that these allegations were not only baseless, but also intended to harm the FIA and its leadership. The clubs have made it known that they will not stand for such malicious attacks on the organization.
Furthermore, the clubs fully endorse the findings of the FIA, which cleared Sulayem of any wrongdoing. The investigation, which included interviews with 11 witnesses, found that he had acted honourably, transparently, and independently.
The letter also addresses the selection of the FIA President, stating that it is the sole purview of its voting members and is not influenced by outside parties. This is a clear message to those who may try to interfere for their own self-interest.
The support for Sulayem is not limited to just one region, as the letter is signed by member clubs and sports federations from various countries in the Americas. This includes representatives from Colombia, Canada, Ecuador, Costa Rica, Peru, and many more.
One notable signature on the letter is that of Fabiana Ecclestone, the vice president of South America for Sports and wife of former F1 supremo Bernie Ecclestone. Her support for Sulayem is a testament to his leadership and potential for a second term in office.
In conclusion, the letter serves as a vote of confidence in Sulayem and his commitment to transforming the FIA in an ethical and transparent manner. It is a strong show of support from the member clubs and a clear message to those who may try to undermine the organization. Kosport Magazine stands with the FIA and its President, Ben Sulayem.
