    Olympic funding with no strings attached

    Private sector gets in the game of giving with B2ten charity spending $3 million on medal hopefuls

    (interesting on how direct donations to select athletes is an excellent way of efficiently delivering funding and getting results. Rugby to learn from this?)

    Interesting quote:

    "In his new book Heatstroke, a skewering of the failing summer sports bureaucracy in Canada, former Olympic rower Michael Simonson cites a statistic relayed by Dr. Ian Reade of the University of Alberta's faculty of physical education and recreation. To paraphrase: for every dollar Sport Canada delivers to its end recipient, $8 is spent administering the expenditure, to ensure that everyone's butt is covered all the way back to Ottawa."
