Any form of bribe from anyone will automatically get that city banned. They don't want to risk it.

Now whose naive?

you still don't quite get it dude...

[Lord David]

Quite get what, you think Doha is stupid enough to give the IOC a bribe, especially since it has the dates against them?

FIFA was different as it's now what the IOC was in 1998, corrupt.

Doha will not win, of course and they can complain all they want. They'll end up bidding time and time again until the IOC gets tired of them and finally gives them the games. One of the worst in recent memory. There will be no bribes involved as that would prevent Doha from hosting ever (alternatively if Dubai decides to bid at some point, the IOC would probably award the games to them instead of Doha).

Read the acceptance report, bribes are a no go and one way to effectively kill your bid, the days of IOC corruption are over.

I suppose Turkey is not interested in Olympics 2020 as much as in EURO and EXPO to be held in the same year. Perhaps it is due to the fact it is more prepared to the above-mentioned events. Moreover, in that case not only Istanbul but also the rest regions would benefit from that on an equal basis. Well, I can understand this point.

Like their 2016 bid, they won't win on account of the dates factor, which is not ideal for the International Federations and North American broadcasters.

Yeah. I've known it will be "" plan holding it in October. What their motivitation, actually? Had never the Olympiad held in Arab States yet

[love-qatar]

Good vedio for Baku

Good luck to Doha

Instead of displaying the image of Baku Crystal Hall, have inserted a picture of the sports venues of the Shenzhen Universiade 2011.

I agree. Although both designs are pretty similar to each other showing renderings of arena in China was not very good idea.

[potiz81]

Baku as a candidate city is really growing on me...Maybe it ll be the dark horse which will win in the end!

[swifty78]

Baku winning personally would not bother me at all as it woldnt be Doha winning

[Jim856796]

If Doha wins, then there's no such thing as an Olympic main stadium anymore. I will oppose Doha's bid for the 2020 Summer Olympics and support either Baku, Istanbul, or Tokyo.

[Lord David]

Doha is merely copying Rio on account that they both happen to be hosting the Olympics and World Cup 2 years apart. The idea of a separate ceremonies venue is fine, but having the same thing twice in a row may not be so great.
