International Affairs Forum Fall 2016 Interview with Professor Emerita Helen Jefferson Lenskyj University of Toronto In a recent controversy, it was found that International Olympic Committee (IOC) members had been bribed, in order to vote for Salt Lake City for the 2002 Games. Controls have apparently not been effective since that time, as allegations have risen concerning the bidding process for the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. Why do issues with bidding continue to be such a problem? The bribery and corruption that have been documented in the German publication Der Speigel, as early as 1990, was finally addressed in December 1998 when an IOC whistleblower claimed that bids since 1989 have involved bribery. A series of investigations, both internal and external to the IOC, produced clear evidence of wrongdoing, and the IOC developed recommendations for reform, in a process carefully managed by their public relations firm. Given the “magic” surrounding all things Olympic, it was not difficult for the IOC to present an image of a thoroughly reformed organization: the culpable members had been expelled or “disciplined”, and the new expanded membership included athlete representatives and international federation presidents. However, non-white members were more likely to be expelled than their white counterparts, who had been guilty of similar misdoings. Other reforms concerned bid city visits, which would no longer involve all IOC members and their entourages; only members of the selection committee could enjoy these international trips. Outside of these restrictions, there is little evidence of systemic change within the IOC. In fact, there are at least two examples in the public domain of bid city representatives, who boasted about the behind-the-scenes “deals” they negotiated. Former UK Prime Minister Tony Blair explained in his memoir that, before the 2007 vote for the 2012 Olympics, he approached Italian Prime Minister Mario Berlusconi, who in effect promised him the Italian IOC members’ votes, on the basis of their mutual friendship. Similarly, John Furlong, head of Vancouver’s bid committee, claimed in his memoir that in 2003 he offered the Russians technical assistance with their next Winter Olympics bid, in exchange for Russian IOC members’ votes on this round. Vancouver went on to win the 2010 games and Sochi’s bid for 2014 was successful. The IOC dismissed claims that Furlong’s “deal” with Moscow’s mayor contravened any rules. The Sochi Olympics had numerous corruption reports—alleged and rumored— with various contractors. How extensive do you believe the problems were? The corrupt dealings between the Sochi organizing committee, and various contractors associated with Putin and Russian oligarchs, have been thoroughly documented. Furthermore, organizations such as Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International, have exposed the human costs of these illegal practices. Russian opposition politician and whistleblower Boris Nemtsov, who was assassinated in 2015, was co-author of an early report. 1 There has been much discussion and debate about the economic impacts for host Fall 2016 61
