The UCI, the Olympics and FIFA, all as corrupt as each other and all based in Switzerland.

I was just wondering what other governing bodies base themselves there, and is there something about Swiss regulations which allows them to hide from proper oversight.

There are lots of others in Switzerland

FINA - Swimming - Lausanne, Switzerland.
FIBA - Basketball - Geneva, Switzerland
IFG - Gymnastics - Lausanne, Switzerland
FISA - Rowing - Lausanne, Switzerland
UEFA - Football - Nyon, Switzerland

There are a lot more, I can't be bothered finding them.

Switzerland has advantages due to tax and banking regulations hence why these organisations, along with huge numbers of private companies, are headquatered there.

I suspect the coruption is incidental to the location and more to do with the amount of money flowing about with very little scrutiny, combined with the influence of sport.

For balance the FIA is in Paris
