UKLFI has complained to the World Triathlon organisation, following the Israel triathlon team being denied entry to Jordan for the Asian Cup competition earlier this month.
The Jordanian organisers of the competition stated that they “feared that they would not be able to ensure the security of the Israelis in the event of an incident.”
UKLFI has written Antonio Arimany, Secretary General of World Triathlon, based in Geneva, and pointed out that the actions of Jordan’s triathlon organisers breaches a number of World Triathlon’s core constitutional documents, namely:
-
World Triathlon Constitution
-
The International Triathlon Union (ITU) Code of Ethics
-
Competition Rules
-
Athletes Agreement
-
Triathlon Local Organising Committee (LOC)
