Where is Peng Shuai?

Well, Mr. Bach, you may have conveniently forgotten, but her priority was to get some sort of investigation into the senior Chinese leader who she claims sexually assaulted her.

Really hope Japan doesn't follow suit.

Peng decides who will be on the call? Pigs might fly too.

The president of the International Olympic Committee did his best to stay neutral Wednesday as Canada, Britain and Australia followed the United States in announcing diplomatic boycotts of the Winter Games in Beijing.

You make him sound positively admirable, which he is not.

Bach also praised himself

Doesn't surprise me one bit. This piece of filth is a Narcissistic Sociopath

“You will hear the same comment from us for every political decision from any government,” Bach said. “The integrity of the games are about the integrity of the sports competitions.”

HA!! FOR U the integrity of the games are about MONEY!!!

Bach, who is set to meet Peng for dinner in Beijing in January, insisted the IOC’s strategy of “quiet diplomacy” had so far achieved “what we could reasonably be expected to achieve.”

“quiet diplomacy” HUH?? Well that's a really smooth way of redefining BUTT kissing.

He's right about one thing- his quiet butt kissing- excuse me- diplomacy- has so far achieved “what we could reasonably be expected to achieve.” And that is a BIG FAT NOTHING.

Which consequently is exactly what Bach is.

Everytime I see an article referencing Bach it gets worse and worse, he clearly has no moral compass whatsoever. Doesn't even try and hide it.
