Over the last decade or so, the world has seen its share of international scandals – a few of which have just broken recently. The Russians currently stand accused of a state-sponsored doping program in at least one – and likely several – recent Olympic Games, and now face potential bans at the Olympics this summer in Rio de Janeiro.
The International Federation of Association Football (FIFA) has been entrenched in a worldwide scandal for over a year now, as several top officials have been brought up on wire fraud, racketeering, and money laundering charges.
These scandals go well beyond international sporting commissions, however.

The International Monetary Fund (IMF) is one of the most powerful of all.
