GENEVA -- Italian lawyer Mino Auletta has been elected president of the
Court of Arbitration for Sport, beating out former World Anti-Doping
Agency chief **** Pound.

Auletta, who has been acting president of CAS, said by telephone from
Monaco that he received a majority of the votes at a meeting of the 19
members of the court's governing body. At least 10 votes were needed
to win.

Auletta, who will oversee the appointment of arbitrators for the
sports world's top appeals body, also defeated Swiss lawyer Robert
Briner and Sweden's Gunnar Werner to get the job.

IF, and it isn't all that big an "if," Pound were simply a lawyer
enthusiastically throwing himself into his job as he sees it and all of his
previous statements about riders and dope were nothing but what he thought were
the sorts of things WADA should say and I were perfectly confident that he would
now be a completely fair and impartial president of CAS, he still has too much
****ing baggage and as a show of prudence and perspective should not even have
put himself into consideration for the job.

Let's hope Auletta isn't a moron.

Pound should take some flaxseed oil if he wants to win stuff.
