INTERNATIONAL
MAIL AND E-MAIL
TO

December 3, 2005
Mr. Jean-Laurent
Bourquin
IOC Manager for
Sports
The
International
Olympic
Committee
Chateau de Vidy
1007 Lausanne
Switzerland
Subjects:
1) CISS/Deaflympics,
Russia and Your
Suggestion to
Deal with CAS
2) IOC and 2006
Extraordinary
CISS Congress in
Moscow?
Dear Mr.Bourquin,
I have read Mr.
William
Schyman's
November 29th
letter to you
and I feel I
should share
something with
the IOC and you.
Recently I was
in Moscow and
there as a Guest
of Honor I
attended the two
splendidly-organized
events - the
Russian
Deaflympic
Awards Night
Banquet and 2005
Miss Deaf Russia
Beauty contest.
During my stay
in Russia, I had
the opportunity
to meet and talk
with several
high-ranking
officials of the
Russian
Committee of
Deaf Sports. I
also had a
meeting with Mr.
Mikhail
Tikhomirov, Vice
President of the
Russian Olympic
Committee.
From these
officials I
learned that the
Russians were
not very pleased
with the way the
elections for
the top
positions of the
CISS Executive
Committee were
conducted during
the 39th CISS
Congress held
this past
January in
Australia. In
addition, the
Russians do
still want to
disqualify the
women's USA
football team -
the declared
2005 Deaflympic
Games champion
and, instead, to
award the gold
medal to their
women's team
which finished
second at these
Games.
The Russians
also sought for
my help,
guidance and
advise in
dealing with the
delicate issues,
which are
described in
this letter.
The Russians
have prepared
the two drafted
documents - the
Letter-Appeal
and Statement of
Claim against
the USA Deaf
Sports
Federation (
USADSF ). These
two documents
are attached
herewith. Please
familiarize
yourself with
these 2
documents
carefully.
To this moment,
however, the
Russians are
still hesitant
to officially
release these
two documents
into the light
because, as I
was repeatedly
advised by some
of their
officials, that
in the event
they release
these 2
documents to the
world, including
the submission
of their
Statement of
Claim vs. the
USADSF to the
International
Court of
Arbitration for
Sport ( CAS ),
then, as the
Russians
believe, the
USADSF people,
especially its
members
Ms.Donalda
Ammons and Mr.
Jerald Jordan,
will launch
retaliatory
action against
them.
The Russians
feel that Ms.
Ammons, Mr.
Jordan and their
associates will
take measures
against their
organization in
various ways,
including
banning the
participation of
the national
team of Russia
at the coming
16th Deaflympic
Winter Games to
be held in Utah,
USA, in February
2007, as well as
making it
difficult for
some deaf
Russians to get
their visas to
enter the USA in
the future and
other unpleasant
and intimidating
actions against
them.
I understand
that recently
you wrote a
letter to both
Mr. Schyman and
Mr. Roehm in
which you urged
both of them to
air and refer
their grievances
vs. the CISS,
Ms. Ammons and
Mr. Jordan to
the CAS and its
mediator.
Well, the
Russians are
still unsure
whether the
USADSF,
including their
members Ms.
Ammons and Mr.
Jordan, will in
earnest agree to
accept the full
jurisdiction of
the CAS in the
event the
Russians
officially file
their Statement
of Claim vs. the
USADSF before
the CAS.
I must educate
the IOC and you
from my legal
experience -
past and present
- in dealing
with Ms. Ammons
and Mr. Jordan
that these 2
persons,
including the
USADSF, will not
in any manner
agree to submit
to the
jurisdiction of
the CAS!
Thus, is not it
ironic that the
IOC provides
financial
assistance to
the CISS, in
which its key
officials are
Ms. Ammons and
Mr. Jordan, on
the one side,
while Ms. Ammons
and Mr. Jordan
refuse to
recognize and
accept the
jurisdiction of
your IOC-created
CAS, on the
other side, is
it?
In light of the
above facts and
after reading
the two attached
documents by the
Russians, what
will the IOC
suggest to do
further?
What kind of
action does the
IOC normally
take against
those
International
Sports
Federations and
their officials
in the event
they refuse to
submit to the
complete
jurisdiction of
your
IOC-established
and blessed CAS?
Will the IOC,
for example, be
prepared to send
its observer
representative
to the proposed
2006
Extraordinary
CISS Congress (
as you may note,
the Russians are
prepared to host
such a Congress
in order to
resolve the
internal
disputes in the
CISS
organization )?
Kindly provide
your answers to
these questions.
In the meantime,
I wish the
entire IOC
family members -
President,
Executive Board
and staff - a
very pleasant
holiday season.
Olympically
Yours,
Rafael Pinkhasov
Pinchas
CISS Ombudsman
and
Strong Supporter
of Olympism and
Olympic Games
