As reported:
Mohammad Alirezaei was due to race against Be’eri in the fourth heat of the 100 meter breaststroke, but pulled out, apparently under the orders of the chiefs of the Iranian delegation.
The same thing happened four years ago at Athens:
Iran has paid a judo champion who avoided an Olympic match against an Israeli the same $125,000 prize money it awarded its gold medal winners, the official Islamic Republic News Agency said Wednesday.
Wouldn’t you think an ongoing official policy of refusing to compete against Israelis would get Iran kicked out by the IOC? I guess not.
The IOC needs to pay attention to its own rules. Its very own charter states that . . .
Game over, send the offending team home. And while you’re at it, send the “males only” teams home too. That would eliminate Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and Brunei. (notice a trend here?). I believe they site “cultural and religious” reasons for their no girls allowed Olympic teams. “Cultural and religious” translated from the original Arabic really means, “we’re a bunch of misogynous pigs”.
Since someone mentioned misogyny, why doesn’t someone on the IOC find out where in the world Mehbooba Andyar is? She is an Afghani female athlete who disappeared from her Olympic training facility in Italy.
Finally, it would be appreciated if when selecting future countries to host the Olympics, the committee could rule out countries guilty of grevous human rights violations and genocide. I’m just suggesting!
Hey the Olympics have never even commemorated the 1972 massacre of the Israeli Olympic team in Munich.
They have to drop out if they’re going up against Israelies. If they actually lost to an Israeli — they’d probably be killed. ;P
Radical Islamists should be careful not to enter countries where Jewish people are allowed, as they might accidentally come into some sort of contact with them. Certainly they need to avoid ANY contact with the nation of Israel above all! This especially applies to homicide bombers, as their remains get blown who knows where and could be expected to be contaminated by coming into contact with Jews, thus making them unclean for the afterlife. There goes your chance for those virgins!
Of course there is also the problem of all the various inventions, medical innovations, and contributions to modern life developed by Jews; they should avoid any of these: http://www.jewishachievement.com/domains/inven.html
