Playing Politics at the Olympics

Iranian Judo Champ Refuses to Compete With Israeli
"Iranian world Judo champion Arash Miresmaeili was four pounds over the weight limit for his category at the 2004 Olympic Games -- leaving some to wonder if this was a deliberate move to avoid competing against Israeli Judoka Udi Vaks. The Iranian athlete has expressed his solidarity with the Palestinians."
It's a shame this guy is playing politics at the Olympics. It's supposed to be a time of world unity.
