Matey I'm not sure where you get your info from but if I were I'd look elsewhere, as you are clueless. They changed the process because there were less and less democratic countries bidding for the games due to corruption and the cost of the bids. Since the new measuires came in the cost of a bid has dropped by 80%. Do you not recall the 6 members removed from the IOC several years back due to accepting bribes for their vote? The place was riddled with corruption. The previous head was discredioted also. Nothing more than pigs around a trough which was costing countries a fortune to compete.
The North and South Korea combines bid was rejected due to North Korea's non existant drug testing. They were rejected...they did not pull out. Many nations were rejected for many reasons. Thats the new system.
