IOC UDRP stats

[David Cake]

	It may be that other UDRPs are filed by national Olympic Committees rather than the IOC itself - the IOC has the treaty of Nairobi, but that only protects the 5 rings logo, and the national Olympic Committees usually have special (and often fairly outrageous IMO) laws to wield. 

Or it may be that IOC are just exaggerating for rhetorical effect. 

Cheers
