"It was extremely modern in the manner they arranged it, yet it was not exceptionally complex in the manner they understood this is on the grounds that they committed numerous errors in their association and in the manner in which they produced reports." 

For the I.O.C., the case is another humiliating scene including one of its most senior figures. The association said it would not make a move against Sheik Ahmad on the grounds that he had chosen to suspend himself.
