Der Spiegel
The International Olympic Committee's President, Thomas Bach, has been stripped of his German citizenship in response to the increasing conflicts of the Rio Summer Olympics.
Chancellor Angela Merkel has announced Bach’s revocation with no explicitly stated basis beyond his supposed lack of loyalty to the Federal Republic of Germany. With only a short statement recalling Bach’s former representation in the ‘76 Olympics as a fencing athlete, Merkel acerbically “wish[es] him the best of luck as a stateless person”.
