The March 1, 2006 16th Deaflympic Winter Games Press Conference in Utah
CISS President Implicated in Kidnapping/Murder Scheme of a Deaf Russian in Moscow
 
By Rafael Pinkhasov Pinchas, CISS Ombudsman
 
New York, USA - Yesterday the city of Salt Lake City, Utah, hosted a well-organized event called the 2007 Winter Deaflympics Press Conference.
 
The 40-minute Press Conference event, led by Mr. Dwight Benedict, the Chairman of the Organizing Committee of the 2007 Winter Deaflympics, was televised live via the Maryland-based DEAFNATION worldwide internet system.
 
Once again, inaccurate, irresponsible and misleading data was provided to the world media and other attendees of such a Press Conference by certain individuals, including by the still illegitimately-elected CISS President and sports anarchist Donalda Ammons.
 
During the Press Conference the following questionable words and sentences - through both voice and sign language - were  announced:
 
that the city of Salt Lake City is the "1st city in the world" to host the three IOC-sanctioned events: Olympic Games and Paralympic Games ( both held in 2002 ), and now the Deaflympic Games in 2007 ( however, the truth is that the city of Rome, Italy, also hosted the threee similar events with the  blessings and sanctions  by the IOC - the Olympic Games in 1960, Paralympic Games ( previously known as the International Stoke Mandeville Games ), also in 1960, and Deaflympic Games in 2001 );
 
that the "first flag raised" at the Deaflympic Games was in 1924 ( however, the truth was that the CISS flag was for the first time hoisted at the Opening Ceremony of the Deaflympic Games ( then known as the International Silent Games )  in 1939 in Stockholm, Sweden );
 
that 38 athletes from 6 nations competed at the 1st Deaflympic Winter Games in 1949 ( the fact, however, was that  33 athletes from 5 nations took part at these inaugural Games in 1949 );
 
that 6 countries for men and 4 countries for women registered their respective teams for curling as a medal event for the 2007 Winter Deaflympics ( however, the sport of curling is supposed to be a demonstration and non-medal event at these Games, according to a certain Deaflympic Games Regulations Rule ).
 
During the Press Conference, it was also announced that "over 400 deaf athletes from 22 countries" are expected to take part at the 2007 Games. It is this Ombudsman's sincerest hope that these figures are real and not inflated ones as, for example, for the last Deaflympic Games - Summer - held in Melbourne, Australia, in 2005, the CISS irresponsibly, knowingly and intentionally inflated the statistical figures by falsely and in advance  announcing to the world that "over 4,500 athletes from more than 90 nations" were expected to compete at the 2005 Summer Games ( the truth, however was that only 2,014 athletes from 62 nations showed up at Melbourne ).

In addition, although this Ombudsman fully supports the idea to organize the 2007 Games in Salt Lake City, the CISS President, at yesterday's Press Conference, chose to conceal the fact that the state of Utah and its city Salt Lake City earned the right to host next year's Games illegally and in blatant violations of the CISS Constitution Rule 7.2 ( previously known as CISS Constitution Rule 8.2 ) and Deafympic Games Regulation Rules 3.1 and 3.7 ( previously known as  Deaflympic Games Regulations Rules 3.A and 3.G ).
 
Meanwhile, news was received from Moscow that a deaf suspect in kidnapping and murder of Mr. Felix Shlimovich,
an ex-adversary in the two legal cases against Donalda Ammons, is finally being caught up.
 
Ammons and her three deaf Russian accomplices are implicated in this heinous criminal scheme.
 
The investigation is still on.
 
Further details will be announced soon.
