IOC chief refused to meet Russian LGBT activists in Sochi

Russian gay activists claim the president of the International Olympic Committee refused to meet with them while visiting the 2014 Winter Games city of Sochi.
After two weeks of asking, the Russian LGBT Network said: “The refusal by Thomas Bach to meet with LGBT organisations in Sochi is disappointing, but we are glad that this discussion with the IOC will still take place”.
IOC spokesman Mark Adams said: “We look forward to welcoming them” at the IOC headquarters in Lausanne.
The date for this meeting remains unspecified.
