Lord Scriven also accused the chief executive of Formula One, Stefano Domenicali, of arrogance and damaging the reputation of the sport by failing to address issues around sportswashing, in a debate held in the House of Lords on Thursday. “His leadership of F1 is damaging the reputation of his sport as he refuses to engage with the issues around F1 and human rights.”. The debate also raised the issue of sportswashing and the ownership of football clubs in England. There were several Lords who stated their intent to make amendments to the football regulation bill in effort to ensure it addresses sportswashing and the foreign ownership of English clubs. “We don’t think it would be appropriate for a football regulator to make unilateral assessments of human rights concerns,” he said.
