I interpret this as meaning that the organization itself shall not, themselves, "promote the candidacy of an individual seeking public office" -- not that the very word "Olympics" is barred from any political advertisement. I seriously doubt that anything will come of this, as it is an overblown exagerration based upon complete misinterpretation of the text.
