Nat'l Olympic chief faces uncertain future following suspension

2020-07-06T14:05:15+00:00

Since twenty years, Gérald Duvet sat at the top of the National Olympic Committee. Charismatic, tanned all year round, always in a white polo shirt and leather moccasins, he embodied sports... or at least, the paperwork that manages it.

But everything changed the day a mysterious email signed _"A Forgotten Gold Medal"_ was sent to all the journalists in the country. It contained confidential documents, compromising photos (Gérald, seemingly cheating at curling), and most importantly: a $12,000 invoice for "strategic" massages in Dubai.

The suspension fell like a failed dive. Abrupt. Official. Temporary, they said. But in the aisles of the _olympic_ stadium, tongues loosen.

— "He claimed he _embodied the values of sport_... but now we know he mainly wore $40,000 watches," whispers a judoka as she stretches.

Today, Gérald lives in seclusion in his lakeside villa, where he skips stones across the water and rereads the Olympic regulations with a sigh.

No one knows if he will come back.
Likewise, he doesn't know.

But one thing is certain: his future is as uncertain as a lost doping test.
