IOC and Thomas Bach is a complete joke and a travesty over the athletes who put their lives on the edge to achieve results and make happy sport lovers all over the world. Thomas Bach has been in IOC VP and President roles for over 20 years by now, longer than so much blamed Putin, and is a totally corrupt bureaucrat who's only ambition is to stay (make money) as the head of IOC as long as possible.
IOC is in need of a complete reorganization otherwise we can forget about the Olympic principles and the interest to the Games will diminish over the short period of time.

Here is the truth!!! Finally!!! It's official!!! IOC is NOT politically neutral!!!
That has ALWAYS been the case!
Exactly!
Playing politics.
That's the way it should be, but that would kill IOC.
Beijing Genocide Olympics being the latest example!
A good reason to ignore/distrust anything that CCP says!
One only has to look at French history to know what kind of country it is.
For once he is right!

It's about time an organization created a new event to compete with the Olympics.
