1. The term lobbying is defined as “the act of trying to directly shape of influence a government official understands and position on a public policy issue.” The word bribe is defined as a pay or buy off, inducement payoff or to persuade to act improperly by a gift of money, etc. (Oxford, page88).

There is no excuse for people of “high” importance to get away with swindling money, and potentially ruining the reputation of the IOC, the United States, the International Athletic Association, the National Athletic Association and the State and people of Utah. But like I said, that is my opinion. These charges can vary from long term jail time with large sums of monies fined, or banishment or fired from your job or organization.
