Colombia has set up a strategy with a view to recovering the headquarters and will go to the extraordinary assembly that will be held soon on a date to be defined, to continue the fight.
The call was opened by Panam Sports, and the leaders want to apply again, of course, with the bad antecedent, but they are going to risk it.
And in that fight, well, they have a key man: Luis Alberto Moreno. Born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United Stateson May 3, 1953.
He is recognized for being an important diplomat. He was Minister of Economic Development and is former president of the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB).
Luis Alberto Moreno was at the head of the IDB since 2005 and was then re-elected for two more periods (2010 and 2015).
And it has a lot to do with Colombian sports, because before the 2016 Rio Olympic Games he was chosen as a member of the International Olympic Committeethanks to 63 votes in favor, 13 against and five abstentions.
Moreno completed his primary and high school studies at the San Carlos school and was an advisor to the Colombian businessman Luis Carlos Sarmiento Angulo and Andrés Pastrana, before the latter was President of Colombia.
