If you look under "Press Releases" on the official Olympic website, there's full details on all athletes who have been penalised for anything...


e.g.
The Greek athlete who pretended to have a motorbike accident in 2004 to avoid drug testing, tried to get into the 2008 games...

Finding: http://multimedia.olympic.org/pdf/en_report_1346.pdf

The Swedish wrestler who threw a tantrum during a medal presentation last week. (He thought he should have got Gold instead of Bronze, and the judges were biased. He hasn't got anything now.)

This guy is a joke. He had people and press concentarting on him before Athens game instead of other important issues. He was obviously avoiding something during the olympics, Ben Johnson comes into mind.

I envy him, he knew what he should have got and made a point. There has been dodgy scoring in the olympics. Phelps and other chinese swimmers may have benefitted. The worst scoring of all is in boxing.
