IOC is so shady. I hope the athletes get what they deserve.

While progress has been made, Koehler says that the IOC has blocked various pathways for athletes to engage in this bargaining. “The IOC Athletes Commission is required to sign the Olympic oath, which is a condition where you have to support all decisions of the IOC. You’ve lost your independence right away,” he stated. Because of this, athletes “sign away all their rights” when they attend the Games.

Why has the headline “The International Olympic Committee requires you to sign away your life like a fucking cult” not been plastered across every news organization yet?
