Bulgaria's Slavkov undaunted, calls BBC consultant gay
Two days after the IOC Executive Board recommended to kick Bulgaria's top sports official out of the elite club, Ivan Slavkov demonstrated optimism and determination to find out who betrayed and supported him. "I expect to retain my position after the IOC summit in Singapore. I am not surprised by the decision. Now I am going to check who betrayed and who supported me," he said before departing for Cairo with the national football team. Taking up a question on the statements of Andrew Jennings, consultant to BBC film, he called the British journalist a "homosexual" like it's a bad thing. Slavkov has violated the ethical principles set out in the Olympic Charter and the IOC Code of Ethics, thereby "seriously tarnishing the reputation of the Olympic Movement, the IOC Executive Board decided." The definitive expulsion of Slavkov requires a vote by the full IOC in Singapore next July.
