Iraq’s athletes have been banned from competing in the Olympics.

International Olympics Committee made a decision to ban the athletes since the Iraq’s government changed the members of the Iraq’s Olympic committee with more shall we say government friendly individuals.

It is a gross misconduct since the IOC charter stipulates that members of the national Olympics committee must be free of any political influence.

Now the athletes will not compete and what is weirder still that the original members of Olympic committee have been abducted by gunmen in 2006 and have not been seen since.
