IOC looks into another Salt Lake case
LAUSANNE, Switzerland (AP) -- The IOC is looking into a case linked to the Salt Lake City vote-buying scandal. "We have had information which we need to verify which is related to Salt Lake City," Francois Werner, special representative to the ethics commission, said Tuesday. "The case is still at the preliminary inquiry stage." He declined to give any further details or to name the individuals involved. The case is not believed to be linked to a member of the International Olympic Committee but to someone from another organization involved in the Salt Lake Games. Ten members of the IOC resigned or were expelled after an investigation into excessive hospitality before the 1995 vote that awarded the 2002 Winter Games to Salt Lake. The scandal also led the IOC to set up its ethics commission and to ban members from visiting candidate cities. Salt Lake bid executives Tom Welch and Dave Johnson have been indicted on federal charges of lavishing $1 million in cash and favors on IOC members.
