Title: Former IOC President Juan Antonio Samaranch has died
Post by: JasonH on April 21, 2010, 04:59:05 AM
Word has it that the former president of the IOC, Juan Antonio Samarach has died aged 89.

I remember this guy from back in the day as Ben Weider and Rafael Santonja used to travel the world kissing his ass, grabbing onto his coat tails to try and get bodybuilding into the Olympics. Their exploits were always used to be covered in Flex magazine and I used to laugh as even then I knew bodybuilding stood no change. They never succeeded.....

PIP.  :'(

Guy was was one of Franco's henchman. Used the IOC Presidency to further pad his imperial dreams. He won't be missed.
