I am thinking there are deep rooted problems with IOC. For example it is not a democratic body with a one country one vote system, rather one in which the member individuals nominate other members.
In recent times it has even become less transparent, like how it awarded the 2028 Olympics to Los Angeles without even a proper bid process.
Even for 2032, there is no transparent process, IOC already announced Brisbane as its "preferred host city" even though other cities like Jakarta has prepared serious, viable bids.
