Olympics ethics report shows top level 'pattern of deception'
February 8, 1999
Web posted at: 9:21 p.m. EST (0221 GMT) SALT LAKE CITY (CNN) The Independent Ethics Committee report due Tuesday on the Salt Lake City Olympic scandal details "a pattern of deception" involving the two top organizing committee officials, CNN has learned. Sources close to the investigation identified the two officials to be singled out as former Salt Lake Organization Committee (SLOC) President Tom Welch and former SLOC Vice President Dave Johnson. An official with the committee told CNN the report, to be made public Tuesday, runs some 250 pages "longer and more detailed than anyone expected." The official called the report a "huge document" that details "a pattern of deception" involving Welch and Johnson. Welch resigned from the committee in 1997 after pleading no contest to a charge of spousal abuse. Johnson was asked to resign early last month after it was alleged that scholarships, cash and lavish gifts had been given to members of the International Olympic Committee and their families before Salt Lake City was named host of the 2002 Winter Games.

    'Personal Gift List' RELATED STORIES, SITES ATLANTA (CNN) A month before his city was selected to host the 1996 Summer Olympics, Atlanta Games chief Billy Payne wrote a memo suggesting a college scholarship, medical care and other gifts for International Olympic Committee members considering Atlanta's bid. Payne spokesman Lee Echols confirmed the contents of the memo which included the proposal that Libyan IOC member Bashir Mohamed Attarabulsi receive free medical treatment at Emory University but said the suggestions in the note were merely "ideas." "Billy's a creative, ideas-oriented person," said Echols, who said Payne told him, "None of the ideas were ever seriously discussed. No one took the musings as anything but that musings. The collective good judgment of our (bid) team was all that we needed."

    My passion for collecting Izzy pins from the Atlanta Olympic Games began with this beautiful Oldenburg horse. He was foaled the day before the Opening Ceremonies, while his owner was in Atlanta for the Games. Oldenburgs are named using the first initial of their sire (in this case, Impuls). In keeping with tradition and to honor the Atlanta Games mascot, the horse was named Izzy. Three years ago, shortly after Izzy came to live on my farm in Catawissa, I was looking for something "Izzy" to give as a birthday gift. Searching on eBay, I noticed Izzy pins, bought one, and was hooked.
    One year and 700 pins later, I wrote to thank that eBay seller, John D. Gregor, for introducing me to the wonderful world of Izzy pin collecting. John had been the Pin Section Editor of the Official Pin Guide of the 1996 Olympic Games. He enjoyed my letter so much, he sent me this rare and coveted pin of Izzy reading the Pin Guide! According to Bob Izzi, the premier Izzy collector and expert, I probably have the 4th or 5th most complete collection of Izzy Pins in the world. Each day is a new day to search for new pins. Every collector understands the thrill of the hunt!

    Rogge impressed by Athens progress
    Story Tools ATHENS, Greece International Olympic Committee president Jacques Rogge hailed Greek preparations for this summer's Athens Games, but said security remained a priority for organizers. "The first years after Athens took the Games the progress of preparations were disappointingly slow," Rogge told Greece's Ethnos newspaper. "In recent years though the progress achieved by Athens organizers and the government is impressive." Rogge, who was chief overseer of the Games before taking over the IOC in 2001, said he would continue to worry until the opening ceremony. "The hosting of the Games is a great responsibility and it is not something that can be taken lightly," he said. "Security remains the number one priority." Greece has budgeted $750 million on security the biggest amount in Olympic history and plans to deploy a 50,000 security force during the Games from August 13-29.
