Former IOC member says extravagant gifts plentiful
Former IOC member Robert Helmick, who resigned in 1991 amid conflict of interest charges, alleges a group of IOC members controls blocks of votes for extravagant gifts and favors such as fur coats, shopping sprees, and expensive air travel. He blames Juan Antonio Samaranch for not acting on prior corruption signals as investigations unfold.
