LONDON (AP) — IOC presidential candidate Thomas Bach is calling for “flexibility” in determining which sports are in the Olympics and proposing a review of the host city bidding process.
Bach sent his platform to IOC members on Wednesday, pushing for creation of an Olympic television network, stronger anti-doping efforts and measures to prevent the Olympics from being “diluted” by other sports events.
A copy of the 15-page document was obtained by The Associated Press.
Bach, an IOC vice president, is one of six candidates in the race to succeed Jacques Rogge. He will step down in September after 12 years as head of the International Olympic Committee.
