Biography

Marat Gramov was President of the Soviet Union Olympic Committee when he was co-opted onto the IOC in 1988. He was also a Deputy of the USSR Supreme Council for Sport, and was described as a militant, hard-driving bureaucrat who was in charge of organizing the Eastern Bloc boycott of the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics. Despite this he was chosen for the IOC by President Juan Antonio Samaranch. Within one year of the appointment he was ousted as Soviet Sports Minister and by April 1990 had no significant posts within the world of Soviet sport, and he was forced to resign from the IOC in 1992.
