A company I worked for at the two previous Olympics has been providing services at the Olympics since at least the mid-2000s. They couldn’t even get a foot in for a chance at bidding these for their services.

They have to actually press charges for that to be true.

Down vote haters. I suppose it is legally ok to have companies in the US bribe officials it has a cool name Citizen’s United. Grow up and make it better.

The bribe was to be the printer of the official guide/travel books.
A lot of people don't seem to have read the article and think it's a bombshell, but it's literally a guide book company saying "here's some money, pick us for your printing needs".
Still completely illegal, and it's good they're being investigated and punished, but it's amazing how many redditors suddenly worry about bribery for advertising & publishing contracts when
a) They probably wouldn't give a shit or even notice if it didn't mention the olympics
and
b) It probably happens a lot more often than they think when it comes to smaller contracts outside the public sphere.

Lord knows where the USFL and XFL will be in a year, and I'd argue that the AFL is a different product with a lot of history behind it. That said, you're right, this is a bold move, Cotton.

They're mentioned in the article as a guide book/travel agency company.

Yeah there were a good deal of afternoon games even at the league's height, because a lot of them were Nationally televised.

Olympic bribery is akin to doping for the Tour de France. Is it even possible to win and be squeaky clean? Everyone seems to say no so I wonder what’s gunna keep happening….

I mean, I would imagine they wouldn't say that (you would think?) unless there was some assuredness of that many teams there. But, I could be wrong, it's happened before.
