No Salary for Samaranch's New Job: IOC

Juan Antonio Samaranch won't be paid any salary for his new role as honorary life-president of the International Olympic Committee (IOC), IOC director-general Francois Carrard said Monday.

But he said that Samaranch would be paid standard expenses for costs incurred in carrying his duties, AFP reported.

Carrard was speaking after the Japanese Sankei Shimbun newspaper reported on Sunday that Samaranch - who made way for new president Jacques Rogge in Moscow's IOC meeting - had asked for a 350,000-dollar annual salary and other benefits to go with his newly created post.

"Before the end of his term as presidency, he suggested that his successors (as president) - and not himself - should receive a salary and not have to rely on their personal fortunes. This was rejected," Carrard said.
