BERLIN (AP) – IOC officials have completed a review of the 28 sports in the Summer Games and the five sports hoping to get into the Olympics, but any changes in the program still could be far off.

The International Olympic Committee program commission assessed all the sports contested in Athens last summer, as well as the five hopefuls – golf, rugby, squash, karate and roller sports.

The panel will submit its report early next week to the IOC executive board, which is holding a three-day meeting in Berlin.

The report already has been distributed to sports federations, which have sent back replies and comments. The findings will be discussed Sunday at the general assembly of the Association of Summer Olympic International Federations.

The report has not been made public, and commission members are under orders to keep it under wraps. However, two members of the panel, speaking to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity, said Saturday they don’t expect the report will lead to any sports being dropped or added.

The report is described as a balanced, objective document that lists strengths and weaknesses without judging or recommending whether a sport should stay or go.

While some sports come off worse than others, there is no overwhelming evidence for any sport to be eliminated or added, the panel members said.

The review does not affect the 2008 Beijing Olympics, which will feature the same sports as Athens. Any changes would take place for the 2012 Olympics, whose host city will be picked by the IOC on July 6 in Singapore. A decision on the 2012 program also will be made in Singapore.

IOC president Jacques Rogge repeatedly has said that no sport will be added unless one is dropped, and the Olympics will remain capped at 28 sports and 10,500 athletes.

The last sport eliminated from the Summer Olympics was polo – in 1936.

In 2002, Rogge proposed that baseball, softball and modern pentathlon be dropped, and golf and rugby added. But IOC members resisted and no vote was taken.

Rogge then decided to institute a review of the sports after each Olympics based on a number of criteria. Key issues include global participation, spectator attendance, anti-doping policies and whether the sport brings the world’s top athletes to the games.

While details have not been finalized, the IOC is considering putting the 28 sports to a roll call vote in Singapore. Members would vote one sport at a time on whether it should remain or be cut.

Removal of a sport would require a vote of at least a majority of the 100-plus members. Many members are presidents of the sports federations on the program, and ASOIF – an influential body that represents all 28 Olympic sports – is working to keep them all in the games.

Baseball remains one of the most vulnerable sports because it doesn’t send major leaguers to the Olympics.

Rogge previously has suggested he doesn’t expect any immediate changes in the overall program.

“I think this is something that I might not see in the short term but definitely something my successors will see,” he told the AP last year. “What I do not expect is a revolution; it will be an evolution.”
