SVT Sport has in several rounds reported on the storm around Johan Storåkers.

It started when it was revealed that during his time as chairman of the Stockholm Athletics Association, he had received more than SEK 600,000 - despite the fact that the assignment was basically non-profit, and that the rest of the board was not informed of his fee.

The invoices had been stamped as confidential and the reporting aroused strong feelings in Athletics Sweden.

However, the union's nomination committee proposed that Storåkers be given renewed confidence as chairman, and at the annual meeting - when there was no other candidate - he was re-elected, despite the fact that almost 40 percent of the voters wanted to postpone the election.

Now, just over a month after Storåker's re-election, he has reported to the Swedish Sports Board, which functions as Swedish sports' highest court.

Member of RF's Nomination Committee

The two complainants, Hammarby Athletics' longtime chairman - also the co-founder of Midnattsloppet - Ingvar Åström, and Per Bäck - who is former chairman of Turbebergs FK and former board member of Stadionklubbarna - have reported Storåkers for breach of statute by both the Swedish Athletics Association and the Swedish Athletics Association.

In addition to his job as chairman of the union, he is also a member of RF's and Sisus' nomination committee, and therefore falls under RF's statutes.

- For me, it is a matter of the heart.

If you work non-profit, it is non-profit and nothing else.

In addition, I am one who thinks that if there are rules and paragraphs that you have to follow, then you have to do it.

It is not possible to slip on it and think that you should get away, says Bäck to SVT Sport, and continues:

- Johan has said that he has not done anything wrong, but it has never been tried.

Therefore, both Ingvar and I agree that we want to have this tried by an independent body, because we are convinced that something has been done wrong.

"Important for Swedish sports"

Bäck is careful to point out that this is not about a witch hunt on Storåkers.

- This is really very important for Swedish sports: That you can not behave in this way.

Because then we have a situation where you can hire people, and then ask the person you hired to pay money for a job that you should not have paid for.

We cherish the non-profit and think that it is the basis for the entire Swedish sports movement, he says, and develops further:

- It is almost a mockery of those who work and maybe spend more than 30-40 hours a week, when a person does it this way.

And then it is swept under the carpet.

"Spent an enormous amount of time"

Johan Storåkers has taken note of the report and will submit a response to the National Sports Board.

He does not want to comment on the specific criticism, but says:

- You have to respect different opinions, including Per Bäcks and Ingvar Åströms.

I have certainly been paid for certain operational tasks, as shown by the reporting on the subject in question.

But I have also, throughout my life in athletics, spent an enormous amount of time on non-profit work.

He has previously said that he has learned a lesson after what happened.

- We should have been more transparent and open with these operational assignments, he said, for example, to SVT Sport in March.
