The International Olympic Committee (IOC) is facing allegations of a conflict of interest involving Ng Ser Miang, a long-standing IOC member, regarding the upcoming Olympic Esports Games. A legal firm, acting on behalf of anonymous whistle-blowers, has petitioned the IOC Ethics Commission to investigate Ng's involvement, citing that his children have financial ties to Refract Technologies, a company that co-developed the video game Virtual Taekwondo, which was featured in the 2023 Olympic Esports Week. Ng chairs the Finance Commission and leads the joint committee overseeing the 2027 Olympic Esports Games in Riyadh. The IOC has defended Ng, stating that all members disclose their interests and that the final decision on games inclusion will be made by the Executive Board or the IOC Session. Concerns are also raised about Ng's past sanction by World Sailing in 2022. Wider concerns loom over the Olympic Esports initiative itself, particularly regarding the niche nature and lack of established competitive ecosystems for the games under consideration. Refract Technologies is also linked to the Global Esports Federation, where Ng's son serves on the board, and Tyrone Seward, husband of IOC President Kirsty Coventry, has held a board position.
