With 'Rule 40,' Greedy IOC Shows It Cares More About Its Sponsors Than Olympic Athletes

You can either have the best #athletes in the world or you can have amateurism, but you can't have it both ways. The #IOC is not only trying to have it both ways, but they are profiting off of what has become a $6 billion industry on the backs of the athletes, who essentially compete for free.

The #Olympics have some of the same stringent rules regarding pre-publication of the #architecture by the actual #architect.
