"Iran's world judo champion Arash Miresmaeili refused to compete against an Israeli Sunday, triggering a fresh crisis at the Olympic Games where race, creed or color are barred from interfering in sport.

The International Judo Federation (IJF) failed to agree how to deal with the politically explosive issue at an emergency meeting and said it would hold further talks Monday."


Let's hope the Olympics aren't run like the U.N. and the Iranian team is sent home. Call me a pessimist, but I somehow doubt it will happen.

Actually, I want the Olymics to kick them out AND bomb the Bushehr nuclear facility.
