Thursday, 24 August 2017:
A full stop on the Australian Olympic Committee's bullying saga is set to come in one week, when media director Mike Tancred learns his fate.
The AOC released a damning independent review of its workplace practices on Thursday, vowing to implement all 17 recommendations.
That review was triggered by what AOC president John Coates termed "inappropriate behaviour" from Tancred and the resultant complaint.
Coates is keen to move on from the issue.
But he won't be able to do so until August 31, when the findings of an independent investigation into four separate complaints against Tancred are set to be handed down.
Tancred remains stood down on full pay as a panel of former judges probe his actions.
Tancred was reprimanded by the AOC for "disreputable conduct" earlier this year but was cleared of bullying former chief executive Fiona de Jong.
"In these matters, it's very important that both the complainants and Mike Tancred be given natural justice," Coates told reporters in Sydney.
"Three staff members requested an investigation of their concerns.
"There was one additional complainant, who was not an AOC employee.
"They (investigators) have completed the determinations in respect of two. They are finalising the determinations in respect to the remaining two."
Coates added the panel will then assess the complaints "cumulatively".
"Which has been a request by at least one of the complainants," he noted.
"That work can't be completed until the final determinations (of all four complaints) are completed."
Tancred stood down on April 26 pending the outcome of the investigation.
