Experts Urge IOC To Sever Ties With Coca-Cola For Sake Of Athletes, Planet

By IANS News August 07, 2024 • 11:42 AM View: 528

International Olympic Committee: Amid the ongoing Olympic games, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) must cut its ties with Coca-Cola to protect the health of athletes, spectators, and the planet, urged public health experts on Wednesday.

The experts from the public health organisation Vital Strategies, put forth their views in an editorial that will be published in the journal BMJ Global Health.

They argue that the company's sponsorship forces athletes to implicitly endorse unhealthy sugary drinks and provides Coca-Cola with undue influence over political and corporate leaders.
