BEIJING - The IOC press commission chairman Kevan Gosper (pictured) is caught up in mounting speculation that he may lose his role, because of fallout from China's internet censorship row.
Gosper has revealed his suspicions of a deal between the IOC and the Government to restrict website access, a breach of an agreement to allow full access to the net during the Games. The IOC has denied any such deal.
