The committee found that 17 pages of Schmitt’s thesis were a direct translation of a book by Klaus Heinemann published in 1991, while a further 180 pages of the 215-page thesis showed “partial similarity” to a 1987 work by Bulgarian sports official Nikolay Georgiev, a former member of the International Olympic Committee.
Several of the tables and diagrams in Schmitt’s thesis were also taken from Georgiev’s publication, some with slight alterations, the committee said.
It added that while the dissertation lacked footnotes, citations and quotation marks, had a haphazard biography and numerous other flaws, the proceedings which resulted in Schmitt’s doctorate complied with the university’s formal requirements of the time.
“The University of Physical Education made a professional error when it failed to uncover in time this sameness of texts and therefore the author of the paper may have believed that his dissertation meets expectations,” the committee said in its summary.
Schmitt, a former Olympic fencing champion and a member of the IOC since 1983, was elected in mid-2010 for a five-year term as president.
