A video is circulating on social media showing former International Olympic Committee President Thomas Bach being put on a diaper while visiting a restaurant. Social media users are linking the incident to the former official's pro-Russian stance during his time as IOC president.
As the authors of the post , “Thomas Bach, known for his pro-Russian views, was attacked by a diaper in a restaurant in Europe. Apparently, activists decided that he had “embarrassed” too many times as the head of a sports organization, and decided to help him so that he would not be “embarrassed” in his old age.”
Recall that former IOC President Thomas Bach actively lobbied for the participation of Russian athletes in the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, even after the results of the investigation into the mass use of doping by Russian athletes were announced. As a result, a number of critical materials were published in the European press against him.
In particular, the authoritative German publication Bild called Thomas Bach “Putin’s poodle” and the publication Die Zeit called him “a well-paid Russian sports ambassador.”
media is currently focused on the decisions of the new IOC President Kirsty Coventry, which are aimed at returning Russian athletes to participate in the 2026 Winter Olympics. Previously, Kirsty Coventry promised to begin negotiations for Russia's return to the Olympics.
