Rogge says IOC can’t solve all problems

BEIJING: The International Olympic Committee president has said the IOC can’t solve ‘all the ills of the world.’ “We are first and foremost an organisation devoted to sport, but it is sport with a purpose. The IOC and the Olympic Games cannot force changes on sovereign nations or solve all the ills of the world. But we can contribute to positive change through sport.” — AP
