This is interesting, however I was wondering if it is a topic for HN?
"Off-Topic: Most stories about politics, or crime, or sports, unless they're evidence of some interesting new phenomenon. Videos of pratfalls or disasters, or cute animal pictures. If they'd cover it on TV news, it's probably off-topic."
A common topic (and an on-topic one at that) during the last olympics was the technological locking down of the media surrounding the event (e.g. NBC in the US). The interest in the IOC's corruption is probably connected to that.
> On-Topic: Anything that good hackers would find interesting. That includes more than hacking and startups. If you had to reduce it to a sentence, the answer might be: anything that gratifies one's intellectual curiosity.
This clearly applies to this, as votes have spoken.
