Why would they give the olympics to beijing in the first place then if there is such a issue ? Because the IOC delegates got the biggest bribes and best head from Chinese government and hookers.

Kiwi Posted August 5, 2008 Share Many teams are not attending the opening ceremony because the problem is that bad. Some teams aren't even going to arrive until just before their events, see cyclingnews.com. Until <?: prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" />Chinaon> forced the World Health Organisation to stop giving reports on Chinaon>'s pollution problems a couple of years ago (see Wikipedia) up to 70,000 deaths a year were attributed to pollution related causes...

Sean Badenhorst Posted August 5, 2008 Share Polluted or not, the air is the same for everyone, so the 'playing field' is level. If it was that bad, why was a bigger issue not made of it during test events for various sports there last year before the manufacturing and motoring restrictions were imposed? I'd like to see those athletes get through one week in their home countries without using something made in China... I'm not for the pollution and think more needs to be done to sort it out. Just think there needs to be some big-picture thinking around this Olympics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
