The athlete activists protest against the removal of the horse-riding discipline from the sport and blame the sport's governing body, the International Modern Pentathlon Union, for violating good governance principles and mismanagement. By taking the existing power imbalance between sport organizations and athletes as a starting point, this book argues that providing a voice to independent athletes affected by policy changes, is crucial to understand the ongoing issues in the sport. The protest movement is contextualized against the backdrop of increasingly stronger attempts by athletes from semi-professional Olympic sports to make their voices heard in decision-making processes. Therefore, this study has broader significance for the ongoing challenges by athletes and athletes-led organizations on powerful sport organizations.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jörg Krieger\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1957792043\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781957792040\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Common Ground Research Networks\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/10\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 152\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.34lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.81h x 5.06w x 0.35d","brand":"Jo\u0026#776;rg Krieger","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44078724808959,"sku":"9781957792040","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_19b2e9e7-88b8-45b6-a0c3-9cb5947d5d17.jpg?v=1685477148","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/athletes-pressing-charges-jorg-krieger-9781957792040","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
