Charity: served on the board of several charities “Olympic Values”: In 1980, during the controversy over the proposed boycott of the Moscow Olympics, Coates insisted that Australian athletes should compete, and stated that Prime Minister Malcolm Fraser “was wrong to try to mix politics and sport.” He subsequently claimed that the controversy had positive outcomes by pushing the AOC towards financial independence and hence, freedom to criticize government sport policy. This was achieved in 1996 in a financial deal between Coates and Olympic minister Michael Knight, representing the New South Wales government. The federal government continued to fund Olympic sports, but not the Australian Olympic Committee directly. In 1993, Coates and other Australian officials visited Africa to develop “relationships” with African sport leaders, resulting in “Cooperation Agreements” between the AOC and 11 African NOCs. The AOC committed itself to providing one-year grants to assist in athlete training, and seven-year grants conditional on the success of Sydney’s bid for the 2000 Olympics. On the eve of the IOC vote, Coates gave the Ugandan and Kenyan IOC members letters promising further cash grants of $35,000 each if Sydney won. These were referred to as “customary exchanges”, not bribes. He later claimed that his action was justified because “the vote was slipping away” and he was convinced that Sydney would not win simply “on the beauty of the city and sporting facilities we had to offer.” April 1999: an investigative journalist identified ethical problems involving Coates: his overlapping directorships as SOCOG senior vice president, AOC president, and deputy chair of a company that owned an Olympic family hotel. Other concerns were the loss of $A5 million of AOC funds in a casino investment, “reckless” stock market investments, and about $A600,000 worth of loans. In short, the article found that Coates had made bad judgments involving both public and private money. July 2000: Coates was one of 48 nominees for the 14-member IOC executive, but was unsuccessful that year. August 2008: Evidence of his reputation for “joking” comments, Coates congratulated Great Britain on good swimming performances at an international event, for “a country that has very few swimming pools and not much soap.” February 2009: Coates demanded that the federal government add $100 million a year for the next 10 years to its existing funding for elite sports, claiming “It is not an irresponsible sum.” In 2010, an independent investigation, the Crawford report, dismissed his demand, saying that public money would be better spent on the sports practiced and enjoyed by the majority of Australians, so that everyone could participate in the sports of their choice, and the health and welfare of Australians would be improved. Coates rejected these goals, calling the Crawford report “insulting” to Olympic medalwinners and “unAustralian.” Saying he was “pissed off” by the report, he emphasized how much medal-winners had done for their country. Family: Divorced, father of six children. Used his status as a father of six to justify helping the daughter of the IOC member for Swaziland secure a catering scholarship at a Sydney college when Sydney was bidding for the 2000 Games. “Isn’t this what the Olympic family is all about?” he asked. 146
