It is amazing that the same organizations that kept South Africa out of the Olympics for 40 years because of Apartheid now claim we should not mix politics with sport. The sport sanctions imposed on South Africa contribute directly to democracy and Nelson Mandela’s release. What is happening not only in Tibet, but to the people such as Falun Gong in China www.CIPFG.org is far worse then anything the apartheid regime ever practiced. Is the deafening silence from the I.O.C. , mayor sponsors and government’s to China’s human right and environmental abuses due to a sudden change in political policy or the power of the mighty dollar and cheap Chinese labor. I will personally boycott any sponsor to the Olympics. J.J. Ueckermann South African passport holder. Hypocrites or Corporate greed.
