The Dominican Republic International Olympic Committee representative, Napole?n Roque Mu?oz was the only one to get a passing note in the report on International Olympic Committee members as part of continuing investigations into the recent scandal whereby IOC members traded their support for Quebec’s Olympic bid for cash. The Dominican Republic’s IOC member, Mu?oz was described as "very religious and very honest." The report was timely for Quebec as the city had sought to host the year 2002 Winter Games, losing out to Salt Lake City. The report, released in Le Journal de Quebec, revealed that "IOC members were looking openly or discreetly to finance projects they were taking to hearts." These included financing for a sports center near Moscow, a school in Africa, transportation for Ukrainian athletes, contacts to buy a paper-mill plant or a studies grant for a kid. Mexican IOC member Mario Vasquez Rana was identified as the man interested to buy the paper mill. The two-page investigation of Quebec City’s largest circulation daily published the psychological profiles of the IOC members, calling them "feudal lords," "emperors", "prima donnas" or "men less than engaging and cantankerous."
