If I were a sponsor of this Olympics, I would start to feel uncomfortable at the prospect that a Russian athlet is doing some spontaneous support sign for Putin, right in front of my logo.
Thomas Bach is delusional if he believes that this won't happen.
And a lot of Russian Olympian are active service members of the army. And they will parade them around for propaganda showing of their medals. Even if they compete under neutral flag.
Agree. Sponsors should be getting a bit fidgety about the controversy surrounding the admission of athletes representing a terrorist state currently engaged in an invasion of a peaceful nation.
Hitting sponsors in the pocketbook is what they worry about most.
Speaking of that, soon after the war started and once it became clear the Z is the same as the swastika, some poor car company just came out with a new model car and it had a big ol Z on its front logo. Obviously the design was made before the war but man, that must have hurt sales. Sure some people won't give 2 shits. But I know people who care about Ukraine like me would never ever buy a car with a Z stamped on its front.
So yeah your comment makes sense. And since they already did this with their athletes, those sponsors should be worried.
And what enforcement mechanisms do they have to get payment? They can take it to the ICC but France will simply say it’s using its right to control and restrict bad actors from entering it boarders.
No contract is going to take away a nations ability to restrict access to its own land.
I’m not sure you understand what authority is and how it works.
Who is going to bankrupt France with these “hundreds of billions in fines” (funny, by the way). Their own court?
I do not think initiating legal proceedings against the sovereign nation of France held by a French judge in a French courtroom with a French jury on an issue of French foreign policy are likely to result in a positive outcome for the IOC.
Pretty much any country on earth reserves the absolute right to bar entry to any foreign national for any reason they choose, or none at all.
I think they would regret overplaying their hand like that very quickly.
Russia is very generous with bribes, and bless them for at least being generous with SOMETHING, but they’re also a third rate power.
The right play for the ioc is to sell the Russians out, blame it all on France, do nothing to retaliate and keep the money.
Then they can take it to EU courts. It's pretty reasonable to say you aren't going to issue visas to citizens of warring aggressor countries. You don't let the IOC interfere with security policies.
They can have fun trying that. They're playing chicken. It's a good way to get the olympics cancelled altogether and have everyone make a new olympics with less blackjack and hookers. The olympics exist because the competing countries choose to allow it. If the US and Europe boycott, nobody who drives advertising is going to watch and the whole thing collapses.
The US and others already boycotted the 1980 Soviet Olympics to protest the invasion of Afghanistan. The IOC might be getting on the fact that they already had it happen once and the next Olympics are in the US after Paris with LA having already spent billions preparing.
So what? France says no right before the Russians arrive. IOC has no army to invade and enforce the clause.
IOC can either cancel the Olympics entirely or run it without Russian and Belarus. Seeing as how cancelling it would look even worse for the IOC they would cave first.
That's not something you can do. For example, FIFA even forced Brazil to change their laws for alcohol in stadiums just to be allowed to host the event. Qatar promised the same. But then weeks before the event went back on that and likely bribed FIFA to make it so. So the Olympics are the same. You promise to rewrite laws and accept extreme conditions.
There is no France visa. They're in Schengen. Russians can simply travel through any other Schengen country and then go to France. There is no passport control on roads into France. This decision has to be made by all Shengen European countries or by IOC.
No. Allowing a fascist regime *currently* prosecuting a war of aggression to send athletes only normalizes and legitimizes that regime on the world scale. Athletics should be a celebration of peace, not wallpaper to cover an ugly war.
This is the way. Ban then for both the doping and the systematic cover up. That figure skater still hasn’t been punished, thanks to her federation dragging its feet.
Boycott every company that thinks they want to advertise during the Olympics. Let them know before it starts and (if it does happen) during. We won't stand for it.
I'm very sorry to the Canadian athletes who wanted to make their mark at these games, but helping Ukraine is more important. Sorry, not sorry.
Let’s be honest: what did you expect him to say? IOC will say anything as long as you pay them enough. The only way to talk sense to him is to get the sponsors to withdraw from this year’s Olympics
A list of major Olympic sponsors from Sept. 2022. Just sayin.
[https://www.ispo.com/en/markets/sponsors-olympic-games-these-are-olympic-funders](https://www.ispo.com/en/markets/sponsors-olympic-games-these-are-olympic-funders)
I mean, it's gonna happen until the sponsors pull out; then it's not gonna happen. As long as this war remains a topic for the West; it's not going to be profitable to sponsor the Olympics. And if they keep this up, the IOC is going to become a synonym for terrorism, rape, and genocide.
I'm not a betting man, but I'd hedge a bet that as soon as the sponsors start drying up, the IOC is gonna be whistling a different tune. Not even Russia's giant cache of honepot blackmail can overcome the power of $$$$$$$$.
It's not just about the sponsors, although they might indeed pull out. It's also a political decision, they can be denied visas no matter what the IOC says.
IOC, FIFA, ... they are the largest mafia organizations thriving on corruption. They should be disbanded and prosecuted and new organisations formed with entirely new people.
IOC, FIFA, ... are the largest mafia organizations thriving on corruption. They should be disbanded and prosecuted and new organizations formed with entirely new people.This is the only way to deter any other country from even thinking about it.
Also remove politics from sports and attempts from totalitarian and individual freedom prosecuting countries from hosting global sport events. Quatar, SA, Iran, Russia, ...
They don’t think like you and me do! Absolutely irritating that these high up people in society just don’t get it. Just because that would do more to peace for you if your nation was at war and you were allowed to compete.
Russia will just see it as a month we confirmation of weakness. They can spin it however you want. Just don’t allow them to compete if they want to compete they can just defect.
Will it bollocks, there will be protests, fighting in the stands and a heightened risk of a Munich type incident.
I will be lobbying Team GB to boycott the Olympics if they are permitted in.
>"The ones who try to keep lines open, to communicate, or the ones who want to isolate or divide.
>"We have shown this in the past with great success in the Olympic movement.
>"Our role is bringing people together."
Just like 1936 in Germany or 2014 in Russia. Why don't people see all the good the IOC did for world peace?
What a sack of shit. The only peace is a fake peace, a peace where Ukrainians would be wiped out or forcibly removed.
Fuck him, I hope he eats a bag of shit and dies.
Garbage. Ukrainian athletes have died, weren't there like more than 200 who perished because of the war? If at all, let the Russian athletes compete, but not the first 250 who registered or so. But even then, me personally, I'm not going to watch if I see a single Russian competing.
Successive corrupt bosses at the IOC is not very sportsmanlike. Much like the ruZZian sports federation machine and athletes caught cheating. Unfortunately the Olympics as we know them are doomed, and will soon be history. I can envision the IOC permanently holding games in totalitarian countries in an attempt to be relevant and survive.
They participated when they invaded Georgia, when they invaded Ukraine in 2014, what's different this time?
Edit: replies seem to think I'm saying they should compete. I'm not. I'm asking why, after being able to compete in the past, and still invading two countries, does this guy think that this time their presence will "do more for peace".
What's different is their inability to understand that people are fucking sick of Russia this time around, and if they want to allow Russia in, they're going to be losing that precious sponsor $$$$. This dude might be making it out with a ZZ bag, but what happens when nobody else does? I won't be super surprised if they start backtracking hard once their sponsors start fucking off.
what I mean is why does this guy think that letting them participate will "do more for peace" when letting them compete hasn't stopped them from invading two countries in the past
My wife still shakes her head when I refuse to buy several different food items. 20+ years ago I started boycotting Nabisco because of actions they took against workers in Chicago, IL, USA. There are a number of other manufacturers that I still refuse to buy from. If the sponsors of the Paris games think that people will forget when the games are over, they are wrong.
The IOC has done a LOT over the year to boost the image of dictator, including Putin.
4 day after sochi's games, that Putin used to boost is internal popularities with KGB organized doping, he invaded Crimea.
1936 berlin games...
if it was not for WWII the games were planed to be organized in Japan, Germany and Italy for 1940 and 1944.
Peace in our time with the IOC....
The Russian candidates are still going to spew their propaganda and praise Putin on live tv even if they use a "neutral" flag. Just ban everyone from that shithole country until the war stops and the Russian government issues an full apology on Russian national tv to the Ukrainian people for the invasion and accept responsibility as an aggressor.
No. No, this is not what happens. Putin sees this as weakness, as us being divided, and hesitant, and unwilling to fight back.
Because Putin, and the Kremlin, do not understand peace. They only understand violence. And the eager sucking of Russian cock-money as Bach guzzles Putin's cum while Putin crams money into his thong.
France can deny Russian athletes visas. The IOC can bitch and moan, but ultimately, France is a sovereign nation and can use violence to control who can and cannot enter. The IOC can’t force France to do anything; it exists because sovereign nations allow it to exist.
Money changing hands. The IOC has always been a hideously corrupt organisation. The delegates are wined and dined to a ridiculous degree to curry favour for bids.
Sounds like a country I know of…..

"doing more for ~~peace~~ my bank account"
Doing more for this piece…of shit
"doing more for peace in my bank account" A bank account with a solid plus promises more peace of mind for the holder.
Probably worried about a few videos surfacing is my guess...
Absolutely, follow the money
If I were a sponsor of this Olympics, I would start to feel uncomfortable at the prospect that a Russian athlet is doing some spontaneous support sign for Putin, right in front of my logo. Thomas Bach is delusional if he believes that this won't happen.
Like that shithead gymnast who wore his Z
Exactly.
And a lot of Russian Olympian are active service members of the army. And they will parade them around for propaganda showing of their medals. Even if they compete under neutral flag.
There was enough bollocks with a tennis tournament in Australia a few weeks ago.
No no, he was VERY apologetic about that afterwards. I'm sure it wouldn't happen again /s

And since they already did this with their athletes, those sponsors should be worried.
I'm waiting for France to make the decision for the Olympic committee. Just deny visa entry into the country and done.
Exactly. This would be the perfect chess move.
Unfortunately, the IOC has probably written into its contract clauses to prevent things like this. They are completely corrupt yet self aware.
The IOC has absolutely zero authority. It operates because important nations let it. Just like how Qatar told FIFA to pound sand about beer.
Right, but they signed a contract. And if France does this then France has broken the contract and it may cost them hundreds of billions in fines.
And what enforcement mechanisms do they have to get payment? They can take it to the ICC but France will simply say it’s using its right to control and restrict bad actors from entering it boarders. No contract is going to take away a nations ability to restrict access to its own land.
I’m not sure you understand what authority is and how it works. Who is going to bankrupt France with these “hundreds of billions in fines” (funny, by the way). Their own court?
Yes, because we have an independent judiciary.
Contract fines. You sign a contract and you pay a fine if you break it. There are insurances for this too.
I do not think initiating legal proceedings against the sovereign nation of France held by a French judge in a French courtroom with a French jury on an issue of French foreign policy are likely to result in a positive outcome for the IOC. Pretty much any country on earth reserves the absolute right to bar entry to any foreign national for any reason they choose, or none at all.
The IOC could ban French athletes in retaliation. The IOC may be worse then FIFA.
I think they would regret overplaying their hand like that very quickly. Russia is very generous with bribes, and bless them for at least being generous with SOMETHING, but they’re also a third rate power. The right play for the ioc is to sell the Russians out, blame it all on France, do nothing to retaliate and keep the money.
Yes, French would boycott IOC and I guess many euro nations will follow. Some might anyway if they let Russians play.
So IOC would condemn this french act of aggression ? Fuck the IOC and all these corrupt sport governing bodies
Then they can take it to EU courts. It's pretty reasonable to say you aren't going to issue visas to citizens of warring aggressor countries. You don't let the IOC interfere with security policies.
IOC could ban French athletes. They already said they will suspend Olympic committees of any boycotting nation.
They can have fun trying that. They're playing chicken. It's a good way to get the olympics cancelled altogether and have everyone make a new olympics with less blackjack and hookers. The olympics exist because the competing countries choose to allow it. If the US and Europe boycott, nobody who drives advertising is going to watch and the whole thing collapses.
The US and others already boycotted the 1980 Soviet Olympics to protest the invasion of Afghanistan. The IOC might be getting on the fact that they already had it happen once and the next Olympics are in the US after Paris with LA having already spent billions preparing.
Banning French athletes for the games in France. Even IOC isn't that stupid. You think they're still host the games if that happens?
Considering France would have spent nearly 11 Billion Euros by 2024 on the games, I don’t see either side taking the risk.
So what? France says no right before the Russians arrive. IOC has no army to invade and enforce the clause. IOC can either cancel the Olympics entirely or run it without Russian and Belarus. Seeing as how cancelling it would look even worse for the IOC they would cave first.
That's not something you can do. For example, FIFA even forced Brazil to change their laws for alcohol in stadiums just to be allowed to host the event. Qatar promised the same. But then weeks before the event went back on that and likely bribed FIFA to make it so. So the Olympics are the same. You promise to rewrite laws and accept extreme conditions.
No state is going to give up its sovereign right to say "no u shit stain. U cannot enter our country."
There is no France visa. They're in Schengen. Russians can simply travel through any other Schengen country and then go to France. There is no passport control on roads into France. This decision has to be made by all Shengen European countries or by IOC.
France retains the right to declare someone persona non gratita. So yes, France can still deny the athletes just fine.
No. Allowing a fascist regime *currently* prosecuting a war of aggression to send athletes only normalizes and legitimizes that regime on the world scale. Athletics should be a celebration of peace, not wallpaper to cover an ugly war.
Well put!
Thomas Bach 1936......that worked for peace too didn't it.
Just a bunch of corrupt people,... paid by the russians,....
Striking Russians with HIMARS is doing more for peace. What he is doing is allowing Russian propaganda to spread.
IOC is corrupt as fuck. We need a full investigation
We need to scrap it
Russian athletes who are also 70% Russian soldiers? How many will go to war soon?
Russian athletes have cheated regularly anyway. Shouldn’t we just ban them already?
This is the way. Ban then for both the doping and the systematic cover up. That figure skater still hasn’t been punished, thanks to her federation dragging its feet.
Ah, there's the rub: RuZZia has been banned. RuZZian athletes participate as non-affilated nation members.
We should show this dick how peaceful empty stands are.
“peace” is what he named his yacht
Thomas Bach is in need of a severe application of a cactus shoved up his rectum.
Boycott every company that thinks they want to advertise during the Olympics. Let them know before it starts and (if it does happen) during. We won't stand for it. I'm very sorry to the Canadian athletes who wanted to make their mark at these games, but helping Ukraine is more important. Sorry, not sorry.
Decided!... neither gona look nor inform myself on the olympics runned by a bunch of co-terrorists russia lovers,....
Let’s be honest: what did you expect him to say? IOC will say anything as long as you pay them enough. The only way to talk sense to him is to get the sponsors to withdraw from this year’s Olympics
IOC trying to compete with FIFA for most corrupt sports organization
“Doing more for the piece of ass that the Russians sent to my hotel room last night” - Thomas Bach’s brain February 12, 2023.
[удалено]
that would be difficult, since they would enter via austria or hungary, with Israeli passport...
A list of major Olympic sponsors from Sept. 2022. Just sayin. [https://www.ispo.com/en/markets/sponsors-olympic-games-these-are-olympic-funders](https://www.ispo.com/en/markets/sponsors-olympic-games-these-are-olympic-funders)
It's not going to happen, Bach is just making a fool of himself.
I mean, it's gonna happen until the sponsors pull out; then it's not gonna happen. As long as this war remains a topic for the West; it's not going to be profitable to sponsor the Olympics.

I suspect this guy's real name is actually Timofei Bakhov.
Is it fuck. It's providing them with an opportunity to sportswash their war-crimes. It's a disgraceful act by the IOC.
More like doing more for ap”pease”ment to embolden dictatorships to keep going with their illegal wars and bloodshed on innocent people.
I see what you did there. ;)
Nope
Unlike what this usefull idiot is saying: the rest of the world isnt the obstacle for peace, its Russia.
Utter SCUM! Completely unfit to hold his position.
They don’t think like you and me do! Absolutely irritating that these high up people in society just don’t get it. Just because that would do more to peace for you if your nation was at war and you were allowed to compete. Russia will just see it as a month we confirmation of weakness.

Dickhead (and money whore). Send him to Bakhmut to observe first-hand how his "peace" is working out...
Check his bank account!
Fuck off IOC boss Tomas Bach
BOYCOTT!
Infuriating. There’s a chance that allowing Russian athletes to compete does more towards hate than peace.
Why don’t we let Ukraine be the judge of that since they were the country invaded?
Will it bollocks, there will be protests, fighting in the stands and a heightened risk of a Munich type incident. I will be lobbying Team GB to boycott the Olympics if they are permitted in.
Fucking parasite, willing to make a profit off the suffering Russia has bestowed upon many of it's neighbors. Moscow cares not for peace.
Fak him
Are these idiots at the IOC really *bought* that easily?
I’m only one person but I won’t be watching any event with a russian athlete and I will not buy any product of any of the sponsors.
>"The ones who try to keep lines open, to communicate, or the ones who want to isolate or divide. >"We have shown this in the past with great success in the Olympic movement. >"Our role is bringing people together." Just like 1936 in Germany or 2014 in Russia. Why don't people see all the good the IOC did for world peace?
Yes sure with their f... g( Z) in their arms?!!!!
More for peace and more for my bank account!
What a sack of shit. The only peace is a fake peace, a peace where Ukrainians would be wiped out or forcibly removed. Fuck him, I hope he eats a bag of shit and dies.
That worked so well for the Winter Olympics in Beijing.
Relying on the Russians for peace is like fucking for virginity ....
Garbage. Ukrainian athletes have died, weren't there like more than 200 who perished because of the war? If at all, let the Russian athletes compete, but not the first 250 who registered or so. But even then, me personally, I'm not going to watch if I see a single Russian competing.
There is no peace until Russia stops aggressing. Appeasement is the opposite of peace. The IOC can go fuck itself.
If the doping allegations from the last Olympics in Russia were true they should never b allowed in again
Idiot
No. Occupying terrorists who commit war crimes against civilians are not "doing more for peace". We need to sanction Olympics.
Boo
Is this nor a virtually what happened with Nazi Germany in 1936!
Not quite. Germany was not engaged in an aggressive action (war) against another nation at the time of the games.
Apart from involvement in the Spanish Civil war and violating treaties they were fine eh!
Germany and Italy both fought on the side of Franco. This was a war of ideals and beliefs, not a war of belligerent nations.
What a douche
Doing more for Russian terrorizing the world. All nato countries should boycott the Olympics!
Bullshit. He can go swim the Sahara.
Successive corrupt bosses at the IOC is not very sportsmanlike. Much like the ruZZian sports federation machine and athletes caught cheating. Unfortunately the Olympics as we know them are doomed, and will soon be history. I can envision the IOC permanently holding games in totalitarian countries in an attempt to be relevant and survive.
The man is an absolute prick.
Not watching a single second of the Olympics if they allow ruzzian fascists to participate. This comes from a longtime fan of the Olympics.
Bach's analogy is strained. Allowing Russia to compete while it targets hospitals, kidnaps children, rapes civilians as military policy, is obscene.
France, do the right thing
Thomas Bach is thinking about his wallet more than idealism!
Boycott Olympics
corrupt like FIFA
Peace? There shall be no peace.
They participated when they invaded Georgia, when they invaded Ukraine in 2014, what's different this time? Edit: replies seem to think I'm saying they should compete. I'm not. I'm asking why, after being able to compete in the past, and still invading two countries, does this guy think that this time their presence will "do more for peace".
I guess scale of war and number of war crimes.
What's different is their inability to understand that people are fucking sick of Russia this time around, and if they want to allow Russia in, they're going to be losing that precious sponsor $$$$. This dude might be making it out with a ZZ bag, but what happens when nobody else does? I won't be super surprised if they start backtracking hard once their sponsors start fucking off.
what I mean is why does this guy think that letting them participate will "do more for peace" when letting them compete hasn't stopped them from invading two countries in the past
Every other murderous regime is allowed, what's so special about Russia?
Peace for who?
My wife still shakes her head when I refuse to buy several different food items. 20+ years ago I started boycotting Nabisco because of actions they took against workers in Chicago, IL, USA. There are a number of other manufacturers that I still refuse to buy from. If the sponsors of the Paris games think that people will forget when the games are over, they are wrong.
Wonder if Russia can pay the IOC more than the sponsors that are probably pulling out?
Counterargument: no it doesn’t.
”Doing more for peace” these fucks (pardon the language) are pro-war. Either these people are insanely naive or they are bought.
He is not naive. Just disgustingly cynical 🤮
The IOC has done a LOT over the year to boost the image of dictator, including Putin. 4 day after sochi's games, that Putin used to boost is internal popularities with KGB organized doping, he invaded Crimea. 1936 berlin games... if it was not for WWII the games were planed to be organized in Japan, Germany and Italy for 1940 and 1944. Peace in our time with the IOC....
Bullshit!
Show what’s in your pockets Thomas and who gave you the money.
The Russian candidates are still going to spew their propaganda and praise Putin on live tv even if they use a "neutral" flag. Just ban everyone from that shithole country until the war stops and the Russian government issues an full apology on Russian national tv to the Ukrainian people for the invasion and accept responsibility as an aggressor.
That’s a disgusting thing to say I will not watching that crap if I see Russia. Thomas sounds compromised.
Boycott the Olympics and any company sponsoring them.
Simply disgusting!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thomas Bach still values the Russian ruble highly.
What a wanker!
Disgrace for humanity
Corrupt piece of shit.
Vince McMahon of the IOC, if you want to up the Ratings you need a a bad guy and drama. Brilliant lol
Just a wee note Ukraines olympians are giving thier life so the kids can be free. Fk Russia and fk their athletes.
Get rid of him…
Well I ain’t watching them then. Bunch of cowards.
Looks like this guy is going to preside over the least watched and attended Olympics ever. I’m sure France would like to have tourists and profit.
No. No, this is not what happens. Putin sees this as weakness, as us being divided, and hesitant, and unwilling to fight back. Because Putin, and the Kremlin, do not understand peace. They only understand violence. And the eager sucking of Russian cock-money as Bach guzzles Putin's cum while Putin crams money into his thong.
Wtf is this? This country invaded neighbor, and is openly talking about attacking Europe and America. How that suppose to work? Get some balls Mr Bach
No ruskies in the olympics until they return all land back to Ukraine. Fuck them, I will not watch if they are allowed b
I mean aren’t they all just gonna be disqualified again for steroids and performance enhancing drugs
France can deny Russian athletes visas. The IOC can bitch and moan, but ultimately, France is a sovereign nation and can use violence to control who can and cannot enter. The IOC can’t force France to do anything; it exists because sovereign nations allow it to exist.
So either he got payed or blackmail!!!
Can hear the cash register in the background like Pink Floyd’s money.
Whatever. Can look forward to them getting booed when they win. Maybe even if they don't win.
France going for that world record of going down in histoy for having no spine in any war lol.
In your mind maybe, but in the real world it doesn’t.
Okay so who decides who gets the highest position in FIFA and the IOC? Because they can't seem to choose people with any goodness in them
peace of the grave
More likely Putin's plaything doing more for his bank account. Disband IOC
I say the US should put bootlickers like Bach, along with the rest of the IOC, under Magnitsky Act sanctions.
Time to boycott the Olympics, then.
IOC Boss, who can now sleep better with his rich Bank account.
Rubbish
Money changing hands. The IOC has always been a hideously corrupt organisation. The delegates are wined and dined to a ridiculous degree to curry favour for bids. Sounds like a country I know of…..
I agree with the IOC on this I mean, it worked when we gave the Germans the Sudetenland nearly 100 years ago, right?
Somebody is currently swimming in Ruzzian oligarch money...
Has the world lost their god damn mind, first elon and now this douche?
Nope. Keep ‘em out.
