Commentary by Casey Barrett
These are grim days for the Games. Doping scandals are pumping fast and furious. The usual dark clouds of corruption and bribery hover. The credibility of IOC leaders is at an all time low. And in 80 days the Summer Olympics in Rio will begin.
In the days and months before a Games begin it’s not uncommon for the media to start throwing up red flags of hysteria. Athens in 2004 wasn’t the least bit prepared. They were planting saplings in front of the Olympic Stadium the day before the Opening Ceremony. Sochi in 2014 was a sick joke of corruption and shameless Putin cronyism. Salt Lake City in 2002 was beset by a bribery scandal. Beijing in 2008 began under true allegations of rampant human rights abuse. These days it’s more the rule than the exception for an Olympic host to be attacked with all the ways they’re unworthy.
