In 1999, the International Olympic Committee approved far-reaching
reforms to the appointment and terms of its members, the selection
of host cities for the Olympic and Winter Olympic Games, the events
on the Olympic Program, and the reporting of decisions and
financial information. The reforms were initiated in response to
the deep crises of legitimacy it faced because of the Salt Lake
City doping scandal and ongoing accusations that it turned a blind
eye to doping. This book assesses the implementation and
effectiveness of those reforms ten years after. It draws upon the
perspectives of Olympic scholars, Olympic athletes, and IOC
members, including those who were directly involved in the reform
process, and makes a number of recommendations about how the
process of Olympic reform could be maintained and strengthened. As
such, it provides an insightful and telling report card on the
modern Olympic Movement in the first decade of the 21st century,
and the presidency of Jacques Rogge. This book was originally
published as a special issue of Sport in Society.
