Honest question here. What implications are there under European Anti-Trust law regarding such a rule? Is such a bald-faced restraint on trade illegal? Could many vendors get into trouble here? Could the IOC be sanctioned?
I ask because in the US I would expect Sherman Act lawsuits to be flying over stunts like this.
