According to TASS news agency, "International Olympic Committee president Thomas Bach and the head of the Brazilian committee Carlos Arthur Nuzman had personally asked me to light the pyre. I have some other contracts. Therefore, I must be out of the country. If I fulfil these debts, I will love to do it, as a Brazilian. At present. I can`t say exactly anything about this issue," Pele told GLOBO TV.
