Wrong reaction
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Craig Reedie, the chairman of the British Olympic Association, protests too much. His intemperate comments on the BBC's investigation into corruption in the International Olympic Committee are profoundly misplaced. By suggesting that last week's Panorama was wrong to use hidden cameras to film a Bulgarian IOC member seeming to discuss the acceptance of bribes, Mr Reedie is effectively saying the BBC should not have investigated the IOC at all. Mr Reedie and the IOC ought to thank the BBC for exposing the bad apple in their midst. As it is, his reaction has merely emphasised what is wrong with the ruling bodies of the Olympic movement.
