The IOC has no sense of shame. This is the organization that held the 1936 Olympics in Berlin at a time when the Nazis were burning books - although not yet Jews - and were tossing undesirables into Dachau in increasing numbers. They also encouraged countries not to include Jewish members on their Olympic team.

It is unlikely they will have developed any conscience or sense of morality in the intervening years.
