Samaranch have interrogated in the congress of the USA.
Americans doubt success of reforms in MOK.
Is unsweetened it was necessary to the president of the International Olympic committee
(MOK) to Juan Antonio Samaranch during performance before the special
The commission of the American congress which investigates "business
Salt Lake City ". We will remind, that this American city has acquired the right
To spend the Winter Olympic Games-2002, having bribed some members MOK. Similar
The history has occurred and to Atlanta, the American city where passed
Summer п пЁя я -96. Now president MOK had to be answerable for the
Colleagues, answering unpleasant questions of members of the congress. But to beat off
From congressmen even to president MOK having a reputation for the skilful diplomat
It was uneasy. So president MOK have asked to tell about it
Magnificent apartments in hotel of Lausanne, paid from budget MOK.
To it have reminded, that in due time his wife has visited the USA for the bill
Olympic Games organising committee in Atlanta. And the republican from Texas Joe
Barton has in plain terms suggested Samaranch to combine the powers: "you
Should send in the resignation immediately, today! "- he has declared.
79-year-old Samaranch heading MOK on an extent of 19th years,
Has been compelled to be protected. In the performance he has named from above 50
The innovations accepted at session MOK in Lausanne (Switzerland) in the past
Days off. Samaranch has underlined, that many of them are written down in
Olympic charter, that is have received the status of the sports law. At
It he recognised, that management MOK has committed errors, not at once
Having understood untidiness of some representatives.
Samaranch also has reminded, that management MOK has excluded from the
Structure of the six high-ranking members convicted in
Bribery, and four more have sent in the resignation. "We it is good
"Have cleaned" the numbers and have carried out necessary reforms ", - he has told.
However, apparently, to convince congressmen to Samaranch it was not possible.
"It is difficult to believe, that planned in MOK reforms will be spent in
Life, - the chairman of subcommittee on trade Fred Apton has declared, -
The bribery prospers in MOK throughout all the last
Decades, however on it closed till now eyes. Only
Now, when the truth has come up outside, management MOK has begun to fuss,
Trying to be covered with a fig leaf of so-called reforms ". So
It is not excluded, that in relations MOK and the USA, the main sponsor
Olympic committee, there will be serious problems.
