- 2. THE FACTS OF THE ETHICAL MESS • HOLDING THE 2016 SUMMER GAMES IN AN UNDERDEVELOPED COUNTRY • POLITICAL TURMOIL • LACK OF SAFETY • POLLUTED WATER • ZIKA VIRUS OUTBREAK & POTENTIAL ACCELERATION • ATHLETES IN QUESTION • RUSSIAN TRACK TEAM • RYAN LOTCHE • ISLAM EL-SHEHABY • INTERNATIONAL OLYMPIC COMMITTEE
- 3. BAD ETHICS EPIDEMIC IN THE OLYMPICS • 1988 SUMMER OLYMPICS IN SEOUL – MEN’S 100 METERS • PERFORMANCE-ENHANCER USE • 1988 SUMMER OLYMPICS IN SEOUL – BOXING • BRIBERY • 2002 WINTER OLYMPICS IN SALT LAKE CITY – FIGURE SKATING • UNETHICAL PRESSURE • 2008 SUMMER OLYMPICS IN BEIJING – SAILING • GAMBLING
- 4. QUESTIONS TO ASK OURSELVES • THE OLYMPICS ARE EVENTS TO GENERATE WORLD UNITY, GOOD COMPETITION, AND BE AN EXAMPLE OF SPORTSMEN-LIKE CONDUCT, BUT THEY SEEM TO BE HAVING THE OPPOSITE EFFECT WITH CONSTANT SCANDAL & ETHICAL ISSUES –NOT JUST ATHLETE RELATED. SHOULD THE OLYMPICS GET A FACELIFT SO TO SPEAK? (I.E. STRONGER ETHICAL REQUIREMENTS, A SET LOCATION, VETTING JUDGES MORE, ETC.) • WITH BEING IN THE SPOTLIGHT & CONSTANT PRESSURE TO WIN, DO WE PLACE TOO MUCH WEIGHT ON THE SHOULDERS OF ATHLETES TO THINK THEY CANNOT WIN ON MERIT ALONE? HOW ARE BRAND ENDORSEMENTS, WITH THEIR LARGE PAYOUTS, ADDING TO THE PRESSURE? • MANY ATHLETES ARE LOOKED AT AS HEROES & ROLE MODELS BUT FACE NO CONSEQUENCES WHEN THEY ARE FOUND CHEATING & LYING. WHAT DOES THIS SAY ABOUT OUR CULTURAL ETHICS?
