Bach says "the right to individual justice applies to every athlete in the world."
Bach spoke in a telephone interview Wednesday with The Associated Press and two other international news agencies.
His comments came five days before the release of a report by Canadian law professor Richard McLaren into allegations of a state-sponsored Russian doping conspiracy at the 2014 Winter Games in Sochi.
