"The New York Times Report is baseless and false", Haile Gebrselassie and Jos Hermens
Haile Gebrselassie and Jos Hermens said
The New York Times report by JERÉ LONGMAN on Haile Gebrselassie's phone-tapping and
blackmail is baseless and false. Hermens said JERÉ LONGMAN's report that "Hermens
also suggested that Gebrselassie’s emotional decision to retire might have stemmed, in
part, from political pressure he was feeling in Ethiopia. His phone has been tapped by
government officials and he has faced some sort of blackmail attempt, Hermens said of
his client." is not mine, I did not say that and I did not suggest any thing like that
at all. It is JERÉ LONGMAN's fabrication and it is unfortunate a media like the New
York Times publish this kind of fabricated stories.
