People in Brazil were convicted for money laundering related to buying votes for Rio 2016. The US refused to submit a bid for the 2020 games because the IOC was demanding more money. Tokyo, which had the strongest 2016 bid according to the IOC grading process, took 2 runoffs to win the bid for 2020 with some pretty shady voting patterns. So yeah, it’s no surprise that hardly any city wants to bother with the IOC.
