It almost seems absurd to see him in power with such a record of disaster and dissent, from a western democratic perspective. What kind of organization is ISU?

If at some time in the future he should decide to step aside, he most likely will appoint his own successor, insisting that person run ISU in the exact same manner as Cinquanta had in the past.

In response to DocRoc: Nationals is the main qualifying competition for the Olympics and it's always been held in January, a month before the Games. You can't not have a National Championship (all countries do), but you most certainly can do just fine without an insignificant competition like 4CC.
