Earlier this week, International Olympic Committee President Thomas Bach made the dramatic announcement of sanctions against those who run Olympic sport in Belarus.
It brought the curtain down on a year when the Executive Board (EB) met no fewer than 18 times. It also marked the first century of its existence.
Established in 1921, and originally known as the Executive Commission , the EB is effectively the cabinet of the Olympic Movement. It meets when convened by the President on the latter s initiative or at the request of the majority of its members, and has general overall responsibility for the administration of the IOC.
