It might turn out to be a Catch 22

Any country that can run a proper Olympics is probably too smart to hold one.

Today we have organisation that keeps an eye on every country in the world when it comes to human right stuff, bribery a.s.o a.s.o

My idea is IOC use these organisation to get a rightful picture of a coming candidate

In the end the IOC pick three candidate which can deny or say yes to hold the xxx Olympic games.
After each of these countries have said yes or no to this offer, the IOC makes the final decision and decide which of these 3 candidates should have the xxx Olympic games

I even have an idea of some kind of a money foundation which could give economical help to a country/town who have been chosen by the IOC.
A foundation each member of IOC pays to.
