Good start... FIFA has now opened disciplinary proceedings against Canada Soccer, women’s team manager Beverly Priestman & other coaches for potentially breaching fair play rules over the alleged use of a drone to record New Zealand training ahead of their Olympics match.
It's getting worse... Play has been suspended in the Olympic football match between Argentina and Morocco after crowd trouble.
The first scandal is allowing a Dutch bloke who was jailed for raping a 12 year old girl when he was 19 to compete.
Think I read he'd been given accommodation away from the olympic village. Don't think he'll last long somehow.
His name's Steven Van der Velde and though he was convicted here, he was sent back to the Netherlands to serve his sentence.
A bit different to the treatment of a footballer who didn’t have sex with a 15 year old. The Dutch justice system can make ours seem extremely harsh.
The Japanese sent of their gymnasts home for smoking a cigarette. She's 19 and the legal age for smoking in Japan is 20.
I have no interest in it this time, it has become far too political, and it seems the sport side of it is a side show.
I see Andy Murray’s pulled out of the singles but will play the doubles with Dan Evans. I wonder if Evans is wondering if AM’s fit enough for any tennis at all?
