In his speech to the United Nations General Assembly in New York on Tuesday, Bach reiterated his position that athletes should not be held responsible for the actions of their governments and national Olympic committees. Tikhonov was of the opinion that Bach was not an independent decision-maker, but rather carried out orders from above from the United States and Germany. He also highlighted the IOC’s financial dependence on American companies, which he said influences Bach’s decisions.
