Corruption

Slavkov, Bulgaria's top Olympic official, has reportedly pleaded innocent of corruption charges; in front of the International Olympic Committee's (IOC's) ethics panel.



Slavkov was filmed by the BBC, discussing how votes could be bought to support a city's bid to host the 2012 Summer Games.



Slavkov's membership of the IOC has been suspended, and his credentials for the Athens Olympics were revoked.



A final ruling on expulsion will not come until next July.



Who says that justice is swift?
