Thread Name: BS: The Olympic Games
Subject: RE: BS: The Olympic Games
Mind it may be the case sometimes but I don't think this is simply an issue of someone being racist. In the likes of football once you have chosen the country to represent at international level then that is it. You are stuck with them. As far as I know that is still the same. Some people agree with that principle others don't. However there does seem to be different rules for the Olympics. There are athletes who compete for one nation then change to another and even in Aldama's case then on to another! I believe there is a three year rule which in the Olympic four year turnaround terms means there is no wait at all. People can surely question that without being labled racist.
