The global health crisis is not the only matter occupying the minds of International Olympic Committee President Thomas Bach and his colleagues whilst they reorganise Tokyo 2020.

In this magazine, chief feature writer Mike Rowbottom runs the rule over Rule 50 and guest writer Brian Lewis, the President of both the Caribbean Association of National Olympic Committees and the Trinidad and Tobago Olympic Committee, argues Rule 50 in its current guise should be removed from the Olympic Charter. Meanwhile guest sports marketing expert Michael Payne, who spent 16 years with the IOC, believes a decision should not be rushed.

Philip Barker takes us through the history of Olympic protests, from the raising of an Irish flag in 1906 to the demonstrations against Chinese policy during the Beijing 2008 Torch Relay.

Chief senior reporter Liam Morgan ‘weighs up’ the Court of Arbitration for Sport, a body which has dealt with a number of high-profile cases in recent times. With the big hearing involving Russia and the World Anti-Doping Agency due in November, Morgan looks at the inner workings of the Lausanne-based court.

The amount of drug testing around the world dramatically reduced during the height of the coronavirus lockdown. Senior reporter Michael Pavitt explores this impact on anti-doping amid fears that cheats will look to exploit the downturn.

We look ahead to a pair of bidding races, with magazine editor and Middle East correspondent Dan Palmer tackling the contest for the 2030 Asian Games between fierce rivals Qatar and Saudi Arabia.

Nancy Gillen looks even further ahead to the race for the 2032 Summer Olympics, which may seem a long way off but has already been affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.

insidethegames.biz Editor Duncan Mackay looks at two notable anniversaries; 20 years since the Sydney 2000 Games; and half-a-century since Waldi the dachshund was announced as the first Olympic mascot for Munich 1972.
