Information from Jacques Rogge appeared on Portal:Medicine in the Did you know section on October 8, 2006.

I have search around, but I can't find any reference to Jacques Rogge being knighted. Does anyone else know anything? Rascalb 18:36, Sep 3, 2004 (UTC)

He was made count on July 14th, 2002 (published on July 19th). He was a knight before that (but I don't know since when). I can't find any English references, but many Dutch or French ones (newspapers for example).

[edit] Strange statement

Regarding the statement Rogge also acted decisively in handling the judging and doping scandals, much to the chagrin of several European countries (France, Russia) who had assumed that their influence inside the IOC would prevent their offending athletes from disqualification., could someone provide references rel. to French or Russian athletes being disqualified at the Olympics ? who ? when ? where ? Otherwise please remove statement.Hektor 22:40, 3 December 2005 (UTC)

• I assume the article is referring to this [1] incident.QuinnHK 02:30, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Last paragraph

Last paragraph is anecdotical and I don't think it fits in a biography article.Hektor 11:18, 17 December 2005 (UTC)
