IOC EB statement on comments by IBA leadership

Incitement of hatred and derogatory language against individuals working for the IOC, who are simply carrying out their professional roles, and against the IOC as an organisation, is simply unacceptable. Making accusations against them that they are “covering up crimes” is highly defamatory.

Furthermore, calling for an individual formerly linked to the IOC to be “shot” is language that has no place in sport or in any normal civilised debate.

The IOC reserves all its legal rights.
