Now, countries with poor human rights records are using wealth to clean reputations and advance personal gain. Sportswashing - coined by Amnesty International in 2018- describes how countries clean their reputation by becoming the epicenter of global athletic events. Sportwashing is the newest example of the intertwining of sports and politics. And 2022 is shaping up to be one of the most politically charged sporting years in recent memory.

Altamar hosts Peter Schechter and Muni Jensen are joined by Nick Sprague, Altamar’s sports correspondent, and a sports and technology entrepreneur. Altamar’s ‘Téa’s Take’ by Téa Ivanovic delves into the West’s failure to deal with the rise of ‘sportswashing.’
