Blackmail and intimidation: Why a top Olympic exec quitFAIRFAX MEDIA AUSTRALIA Fiona de Jong, former chief executive of the Australian Olympic Committee, says she was threatened by AOC media director Mike Tancred. A lawyer and businesswoman, she ended up chief executive of the Australian Olympic Committee. For 27 years, John Coates has run the Australian Olympic movement, a job which now earns him A$760,000 (NZ$816,000) a year. A similar thing happened in 2015 with a third young woman, who documented a series of blow-ups with Tancred. "My motivation is sincere in my concerns for the AOC staff that remain," she says.
