		Juan Antonio Samaranch (born July 17, 1920 in Barcelona) is a Spanish sports official, president of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) from 1980 to 2001.

	ESPN.com - OLY - Samaranch's legacy: controversy, corruption
		Samaranch, desperately wanting Eastern bloc countries to participate in the 1988 Seoul Olympics, ignored clear evidence of institutionalized doping in some Eastern-bloc countries and awarded the IOC's highest honors to Erik Honecker of East Germany and his sports minister, Manfred Ewald, Romanian strongman Nicolae Ceaucescu and Todor Zhivkov of Bulgaria.
		Samaranch earned a vote of confidence from IOC members after the scandal, but the 86-2 count was probably more of a reaction to the approaching end of his term.
		At the same time, Samaranch deserves credit for insisting that South Africa be banned from the Olympics until apartheid was eliminated and the IOC's exclusion of Afghanistan from Sydney reinforced the widespread belief that the Taliban's treatment of women was unacceptable.
