As the old saying goes "Money talks and bullsh!t walks", that's the reason why we lost, nothing more, nothing less, and that was the reason why Atlanta won the 1996 Olympics and not Athens & Melbourne, because we were simply out played, we were the pawn and Qatar was the king.
Fact is, we got out-bribed - OK, suck it up, we need more millionaires on the bid team next time - maybe the Ruling Ranga could make it a new mining tax.
The Qataris have enough money to host the Winter Olympics if they wanted to.
