I asked Gary Cook how would Nike respond to the doping allegations against Alberto Salazar. He said Nike would do nothing publicly and wouldn't comment on it, they rode out the storm with Tiger Woods and Lance Armstrong.
I also asked why don't city go after the press who constantly bad mouth us, he gave a similar answer to that above plus he said someone else will be next in the firing line and they'll forget about us and that its pointless arguing with them as they print what they want and its difficult to get your side of the story across.
They also say any publicity is good publicity for sponsors. Not sure I’d agree on that but who knows. The influence of the spending power of the Abu Dhabi state is immense. Being well connected seems to be a good move to me. The spending the emirate must be tens of billions every year and everyone wants a slice of that.
