The Max Mosely scandal just continues to get more and more lurid every day. It continues to threaten the integrity of F1 and to a lesser degree motor sports in general. Now it has been revealed that an MI5 officer has resigned because his wife was one of the prostitutes involved going by the name of ‘Mistress Abi’ in Max’s little sex game.

This week began with Radovan Novak withdrawing his earlier statement that McLaren and Ron Denis were behind a conspiracy against Mosely. now to top that, there are allegations that MI5 are involved and at the head of a conspiracy against Max Mosely.

Following an announcement that an MI5 officer’s wife was involved in the ’sex game’, the officer has resigned his position and MI5 has now been forced to deny these allegations. The statement from a spokesman for MI5 has denied his organization has any involvement with Max Mosely and went on to say that MI5 has high standards of behavior both in personal life and professional. He goes on to say that when an officer falls below these standards, action will be taken.

An internal MI5 investigation is trying to establish whether the officer knew his wife was involved in prostitution and whether he was involved in her business affairs. If it is discovered that he knew and was involved, we face another year of ugly politics taking away from what really matters; the racing. That alone disgusts me.

Add to all this, the statement in the letter Max Mosely wrote that says:

I think it is also important to recognize that there has been a struggle for control of Formula One that goes back to the original Concorde Agreement in 1981. More recently it involved the major manufacturers threatening to launch a break-away series. During my period as FIA President the economics of Formula One have changed beyond all recognition. We are now dealing with a sport involving billions of dollars and interests that would like nothing better than to remove the FIA from the Championship entirely. I have been determined to fight for the rights and role of the FIA in Formula One and it is possibly for this reason that the media have been encouraged by those who have an interest in undermining my Presidency. I believe, therefore that whatever the Extraordinary General Assembly decides, it should not reward those who have deliberately set out do destabilize the FIA as such a crucial time in its history.

This is a very interesting statement that depending on how you interpret it could suggest that a conspiracy may not be too far off the mark. I’m not one to believe everything I hear when it comes to a ‘conspiracy theory’ and reserve judgment on whether any of this is indeed true. That said, it does raise questions and adds another pile of cow manure to fuel this ugly story.

If Max Mosely kept his nose clean and other parts as well, this mess may never have happened, but at the same time a possible conspiracy may not have been revealed if he had. Whatever your belief, Max Mosely, for the very core issue of playing Nazi sex games should have resigned and let the cards play out without him.
