| The insidethegames.biz team at the Winter Olympic Games in Beijing last month set the agenda when it exclusively broke the story that Russian figure skater Kamila Valieva had tested positive for a banned drug. | |
| In the face of death threats and harassment from the Russian media and denials from senior sports officials, editor-in-chief Duncan Mackay and senior reporter Michael Pavitt carried on bringing news that was accessible to everyone. |
Dan Wetzel at Yahoo! Sports wrote “journalistically, Mackay and Pavitt already own the gold medal of these Olympics… They have been proven correct with each development.”
The Daily Mail’s chief sportswriter Martin Samuel admitted that, without the “excellent team at insidethegames.biz”, the Valieva story may have been covered up by the authorities.
This was just the latest recent example of how insidethegames.biz has set the agenda in the Olympic Movement.
In January 2020 we were the first publication to report that the new coronavirus identified in Wuhan represented a serious threat to that year’s Olympic Games in Tokyo.
In February last year, insidethegames.biz
exclusively broke the story that Brisbane was set to be installed by the International Olympic Committee as the preferred bidder for the 2032 Olympics and Paralympics.

| These are the types of stories that insidethegames.biz does every day of the year.
Over the past two weeks, there is no publication in the world that has followed the impact on the Olympic Movement of the Russian invasion of Ukraine as in as much depth and breadth as insidethegames.biz.
