Because Samaranch was corrupt as hell and got bought off by Russia.
Despite requests from Ukraine and Georgia to compete independently, the IOC convinced all 12 former republics to field a unified team during the Summer Games in Barcelona, Spain.
The IOC granted provisional recognition to each of the national Olympic committees of the 12 republics on the condition that they take part in a joint team.
"I think all wanted to go independently, but they agreed with us that for the last time they have to take part as a united team," said IOC president Juan Antonio Samaranch."
