The **2002 Olympic Winter Games bid scandal** was a scandal involving allegations of bribery to obtain the 2002 Olympic Games in Salt Lake City, Utah. Before 1995, the city had attempted several times to secure the games, but failed each time. In 1995, Salt Lake City was announced as the host city, but in 1998 the members of the International Olympic Committee were accused of taking bribes from the Salt Lake Organizing Committee.
