Mosley apologizes (he doesn't deny anything though) and refuses calls to quit
Max Mosley has apologised to members of the FIA for any embarrassment caused by the recent revelations about his private life, but made it clear he remains fully committed to his role as president of motor racing's governing body.

In a letter sent on Tuesday to all presidents of the national FIA clubs, all members of the FIA Senate, the World Motor Sport Council and the World Council for Mobility and the Automobile, Mosley blames the allegations about his sexual conduct on a 'covert' operation to discredit him.

The FIA head also denied claims from the newspaper that there were Nazi connotations in his actions.

He also reveals that he intends to take legal action against the News of the World newspaper for the article.

In the letter, Mosley writes: "From information provided to me by an impeccable high-level source close to the UK police and security services, I understand that over the last two weeks or so, a covert investigation of my private life and background has been undertaken by a group specialising in such things, for reasons and clients as yet unknown. I have had similar but less well-sourced information from France.

"Regrettably you are now familiar with the results of this covert investigation and I am very sorry if this has embarrassed you or the club. Not content with publicising highly personal and private activities, which are, to say the least, embarrassing, a British tabloid newspaper published the story with the claim that there was some sort of Nazi connotation to the matter. This is entirely false.

"It is against the law in most countries to publish details of a person's private life without good reason. The publications by The News of the World are a wholly unwarranted invasion of my privacy and I intend to issue legal proceedings against the Newspaper in the UK and other jurisdictions."

Although there have been calls by some for Mosley to resign in the wake of the scandal, in the letter he claims that he has received support from a number of parties who wish him to stand firm in light of the controversy.

"I have received a very large number of messages of sympathy and support from those within the FIA and the motor sport and motoring communities generally, suggesting that my private life is not relevant to my work and that I should continue in my role," wrote Mosley. "I am grateful and with your support I intend to follow this advice.

"I shall now devote some time to those responsible for putting this into the public domain but above all I need to repair the damage to my immediate family who are the innocent and unsuspecting victims of this deliberate and calculated personal attack.

"You can, however be certain that I will not allow any of this to impede my commitment to the work of the FIA."

The letter is the first public statement from Mosley since the story broke in Sunday's News of the World newspaper.

Although Mosley is scheduled to attend this weekend's Bahrain Grand Prix, it is looking increasingly likely that he will choose to skip the event.

Although the news of Mosley's antics has generated a lot of coverage and reaction in the media, so far Formula One teams and manufacturers have remained silent over the matter.

Wow. Love this one:
"but above all I need to repair the damage to my immediate family who are the innocent and unsuspecting victims of this deliberate and calculated personal attack.
He banged 5 hookers!! I can't believe the audacity of the man to attempt to pass the buck, over sticking his piece in 5 hookers and call it a third party attack on his family. Ridiculous.

I'm sure he is hoping to enjoy the same luck enjoyed by Elliot Spitzer, and his wife doesn't leave him.. Can't understand them not though.

you know if he's into sado-masochism, that's fine by me ...but nazi role playing? imagine if he did some kind of apartheid role playing...that's f****d up, the thought of someone getting sexual pleasure from regimes that left permanent scars and ruined the lives of so many people is sickening

Pok, are you saying Mosley doesn't care about what's going on, or you don't care about the nazi role-playing as the "role playing" doesn't in itself cause harm?

I wrote an inflammatory post saying wtf, but then realised I may have mis-interpreted what you were saying

well look at it this way..

they are shooting a movie and there a people acting as Nazi people.. so should we ask those actors to quit ?

there is a reason why its called Roll playing.

in grade 3 i played one of a jewish roles we had in a play.. doesnt mean i should hate the jews...and it doesnt mean the jews should condem me.. roll playing.. its called that for a reason.

That doesn't change the fact that his fondness for deviant sexual practices has the potential to harm more than just his own life. Many a political leader has been brought down by doing silly things.

Pok,
I agree with you.. Role playing is just that, role playing. And if Mosley hadn't been caught on film spanking hookers, we wouldn't be discussing it, and others wouldn't be incensed.

The stupidity, and offensiveness of the situation, to me at least, is the fact that a married family man, hired and banged 5 hookers. How kinky they got, I don't really care.

But in terms of his credability and perception as a man of moral substance, I think this has all but gone out the window.

So that means his Family should be the ones kicking his arse, I mean you dont get fired from work for cheating on your wife do you.. What you do in your private life stays in your private life and what you do @ work stays @ work.

What im saying is, he shouldnt be asked to quit his job cause he had a kinky night. Maybe his moral compass is fucked up he wouldnt be able to find his way home but.. on the other hand, she shouldnt be asked to quit, maybe pay a hefty fine?

Unless he has a clause perhaps provisioning for his sacking if considered to have bought the sport into disrepute? Unlikely though to be specific toward "hiring of hookers and spanking to 1942 war theme"

But there is likely nothing binding in his contract to prohibit for philandering. You can successfully argue that point.

I doubt that things will be the same for him again, considering he has next to no respect from those he deals with. In my business, if I was viewed as a complete twisted unloyal fuck, I doubt i'd get deals done either.

What you do in your private life only stays in your private life, if you keep it private in your private life.

I am sorry, but if you are fucking whores and playing out Nazi fantasies then you are morally corrupt and unstable and need to step down from your position as leader of a large complex and trusted enterprise.

If this man is willing to be this depraved and dishonest and immoral in his "private" life, then you can bet your arse he is a dishonest, untrustworthy immoral person in his business life.

All credibility and sincerity is lost.
