Yes, the decision of where the Olympics will be hosted is now a life or death struggle, with the fate of nations hanging in the balance.

Here’s my take:

- Chicago bid $4.8 billion.

- Rio bid $12.4 billion.

- The IOC is possibly the most corrupt organization on earth; it openly solicits bribes, gifts and favors from those under consideration as hosts.

That’s pretty much the alpha and omega for this story.
