Quotes about the conference

"I hope the world in general will take note of what has been said here. It was very interesting and very revealing. We are presented with very factual issues. The corruption that exists is frightening and shocking. To think that the people we entrust with running our associations can be so corrupt. I am glad that questions are being asked".

Carole Garoes, President of African Women in Sport
"This conference was extremely useful. It was particularly enlightening to hear the views and experiences of sports journalists and administrators from across the world".

David Conn, journalist and author
