And more fallout from the Olympic bribery scandal. A fourth International Olympic Committee member has resigned in the wake of the corruption allegations. Kenya’s Charles Mukora says he resigned in principle. He says he was an innocent victim of circumstances, but the IOC says Mukora received $34,000 in illegal payments from Salt Lake City officials. Over the weekend, the IOC had named Mukora as one of nine members who received an illegal payment from Salt Lake when it was trying to win a bid to host the 2002 Winter Games.
