I believe the logic behind this bid is so that the tower just back of the Corniche will be properly utilised again as the bid headquarters for an Olympic push - have to do something with it!!
I would suggest this one will go to Madrid - they have had their noses pushed out of joint on both WC and Olympic bids in the last couple of years.
The successful 2022 award has caused SO MUCH controversy around the globe that I doubt the IOC will allow themselves to fall into the "Blatter trap". Besides, has anything REALLY changed since the sham of the last Qatari bid for Olympic status in terms of what the IoC will and will not accept??
