BEIJING, Aug 14 (Reuters) - Swedish wrestler Ara Abrahamian threw down his Olympic bronze medal in protest on Thursday after his bid for greco-roman gold was ended by a decision denounced by the Swedish coach as "politics".
Abrahamian took the bronze from around his neck during the medal ceremony, stepped from the podium and dropped it in the middle of the wrestling mat then walked off.
"I don't care about this medal. I wanted gold," he said.
A bitter Abrahamian, silver medallist at Athens 2004 who had high hopes of top honours in the 84kg competition in Beijing, announced he was quitting the sport.
"This will be my last match. I wanted to take gold, so I consider this Olympics a failure," the 33-year-old said.
The Swedish wrestler had to be restrained by team mates earlier when a row erupted with judges over the decision in a semi-final bout at the Chinese Agricultural University Gym with Andrea Minguzzi of Italy, who went on the take gold.
Abrahamian shouted at the referee and judges then went over to their seats to speak to them up close. He angrily threw off the restraining arm of a team official then turned and left.
Swedish fans booed loudly as the judges filed out of the arena. Abrahamian said nothing to waiting reporters but whacked an aluminium barricade with his fist as he left the hall.
The gold medallist, who kissed the Chinese medal bearer after receiving his gold, said Abrahamian's walkout "did in a way spoil the victory ceremony for me".
"Certainly one can always question decisions made in the course of refereeing, but in sports it is appropriate to show sportsmanship and accept the results," Minguzzi said.
Hungary's Zoltan Fodor, an outsider who said he "never dreamed of reaching the final" won the silver.
The International Olympic Committee said it was investigating the dispute with the wrestling federation FILA, which Abrahamian said "does not play fair".
"We are in contact with the wrestling federation to establish the exact facts," IOC spokeswoman Emmanuelle Moreau said.
Abrahamian later said he believed his loss to the eventual gold medallist Minguzzi was "totally unjustified". The wrestler said his friends "called me just 20 minutes before the (bronze) competition, begging me to compete".
"I decided that I had come this far and didn't want to let them down, so I wrestled," he said.
Swedish coach Leo Myllari said: "It's all politics."
Myllari did not say if he intended to lodge a formal protest over the decision by referee Jean-Marc Petoud of Switzerland, judge Lee Ronald Mackay of Canada, and mat chairman Guillermo Orestes Molina of Cuba. (Additional reporting by Simon Denyer; editing by Keith Weir)

"I Smell Bullshit!"

China: "Plot on Olympic athletes foiled".
Thu Apr 10, 7:05 AM ET
BEIJING - China said Thursday it had uncovered a criminal ring planning to kidnap athletes and others at the Beijing Olympic Games.
Thirty-five members of a ring based in the restive western Xinjiang region were arrested, Ministry of Public Security Spokesman Wu Heping told a news conference.
"We face a real terrorist threat," Wu said. The arrests took place between March 26 and April 6, he said.
Since the Sept. 11, 2001, terror hijackings, China has tried to portray the simmering separatist rebellion in Xinjiang as being fueled by terrorist organizations in Central Asia and the Middle East. But evidence made public has been scarce.
Western embassies asked Beijing for more information after authorities said they broke up an attempt to hijack a plane in western China last month but so far no evidence has been provided, diplomats have said.
On Thursday, Wu said the ring was plotting to kidnap athletes, foreign journalists and other visitors to the August Games. He added that police had also confiscated almost 22 pounds of explosives and eight sticks of dynamite and "jihadist" literature in the latest raids in Urumqi, the capital of Xinjiang.
Wu also provided further details on a second group arrested in January, alleging they had been manufacturing explosives and were plotting to attack hotels, government offices and military targets in Shanghai, Beijing and other cities.
Wu said the gang had been acting on orders from a radical Islamic Xinjiang independence group, East Turkestan Islamic Movement.
While the United States has labeled the East Turkestan Islamic Movement a terrorist organization, the State Department alleges widespread abuses of the legal and educational systems by the communist authorities to suppress Uighur culture and religion.

The Chinese government is trying to deflect what go'n on during these protests.

I'll bet that this story is the biggest pile of horse-shit since George Bush said those immortal words "Weapons Of Mass Destruction"!

This country should be watched, and closely. Whom ever takes the fall from this story look for an immediate death sentence. Much like the ones I reported of in the past.

Dollars to donuts they're Tibetan or Burmese.

Anyone out there wanna make a bet that this story is the biggest whooper told this year?

I'm take'n bets and give'n 2 to 1!

The Torch Rally Leaves With It Tail Beneath It's Legs

ArchBishop Desmond Tu Tu.
In San Fransisco.


By The Associated Press

SAN FRANCISCO - The Olympic flame is on its way to Buenos Aires, Argentina, Thursday after a fleeting visit to San Francisco.
Faced with thousands of anti-China protesters, authorities pulled a bait-and-switch routine on the crowds who turned out to see the flame Wednesday on its only North American stop. The torch was relayed along a shortened, alternate route before it was finally taken to the airport and put on a plane without a formal goodbye.
In China, where the summer games are taking place, the state-run Xinhua News Agency is reporting that the San Francisco leg proceeded without major disruptions.
It says the route was changed due to what it describes as "threats by Tibetan separatists and their supporters."
International Olympic Committee President Jacques Rogge has been in Beijing for meetings with Chinese officials. He gave the U.S. torch relay a mixed review, saying it was "not the joyous party" they had wished for.

"Good For Roots"!

Roots loses U.S. Olympic contract


Roots Canada has lost its contract to design the clothing for the U.S. Olympic team to American fashion giant Polo Ralph Lauren.
It's the second major Olympic loss for Roots in recent years. In 2005, Olympic organizers chose Hudson's Bay Co. to outfit Canada's Olympic teams through the 2012 Olympics — replacing Roots, which had outfitted Canada's team for the Olympics from 1998 to 2004.
Roots' distinctive red "poor boy" beret for the Canadian team at the 1998 Games in Nagano attracted a lot of attention to Roots.
The hat was a huge seller. Its popularity among Canadians and celebrities helped Roots to win the contract to outfit the U.S. team in 2002.
In an announcement on its website Monday, Polo Ralph Lauren said it would "bring an elegant and contemporary style" to the U.S. Olympic teams competing at this summer's Games in Beijing.
Clothing from the Polo Ralph Lauren U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Team collection will be available for Americans to buy in June.
Hudson's Bay says its Canadian collection for the Beijing Olympics will debut May 1.

What's not written here is "Roots" actually backed out'a their contract with the U.S. Olympic Team and "Ralph Lauren" stepped in. Still a great deal of "Roots" clothing are made in China, but their best products are still made in Canada. I say shop there this year. Shop wisely though. Read the labels.

Boycott "Ralph Lauren" and "H.B.C. companies" . "Zeller's" , "Winners", & "The Hudson Bay Stores".

This is the first in a series of blogs that will call on everyone to boycott certain stores and products this year.
Thanx Wally.

Clinton urges Bush to boycott Beijing Olympics

WASHINGTON (Reuters)




- Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton urged President George W. Bush on Monday to boycott the Beijing Olympics opening ceremonies this summer unless China improves human rights.
Clinton, in a statement, cited violent clashes in Tibet and the lack of pressure by China on Sudan to stop "the genocide in Darfur."
"At this time, and in light of recent events, I believe President Bush should not plan on attending the opening ceremonies in Beijing, absent major changes by the Chinese government," the New York senator said.
Bush plans to attend the Summer Olympics ceremonies in Beijing in August and so far has resisted pressure to change his plans in response to a violent crackdown against protesters in Tibet by Chinese authorities.
China has also been accused of refusing to use its influence on the Sudanese government to get it to stop what the United States calls a genocide in the Darfur region.
Clinton joined U.S. House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi of California in calling on Bush to boycott the ceremonies.
"I encourage the Chinese to take advantage of this moment as an opportunity to live up to universal human aspirations of respect for human rights and unity, ideals that the Olympic games have come to represent," Clinton said.
Speaking before Clinton's statement was released, White House spokesman Tony Fratto said that, "We have a great deal of concern about human rights in China."
"We have never been afraid to express those views," he said.
He said the Bush administration expects American athletes to participate in the Olympics.

Olympic torch 'extinguished' twice by officials as anti-China demonstrations engulf Paris

The Olympic torch was extinguished twice by officials today amid noisy demonstrations in Paris today.
The move came after it was decided to put the flame on a bus when police were confronted by thousands of protesters. It was not immediately clear whThe news comes as it revealed the Metropolitan Police are locked in a row with Chinese officials over who was to blame for the torch relay farce which brought embarrassment to London.
Both sides claimed the other was in charge of the 31-mile parade through London which was supposed to be a celebration of this year's Games in Beijing and instead turned into a fiasco.
And International Olympic Committee President Jacques Rogge admitted he was "very concerned" over the demonstrations.
"I'm very concerned with the international situation and what's happened in Tibet," he said in a speech to the Association of National Olympic Committees in Beijing.
"The torch relay has been targeted. The IOC has expressed serious concerns and calls for rapid, peaceful resolution in Tibet."ether the torch was extinguished by accident. As many as 1,500 pro-Tibet demonstrators shadowed the relay over eight hours on Sunday as it passed from Wembley to Greenwich through central London and past the 2012 Olympic site at Stratford.

Commander Bob Broadhurst, the officer in charge of the route, had more than 1,000 officers at his disposal but consistently found them overstretched by the scale of the protests.He claimed the Beijing Olympics Organising Committee - Bocog - took all the decisions regarding the route and changes to the way the torch was carried.Mr Broadhurst said: "My log from yesterday is fullk of decisions where Bocog had made the call, not us. None of those decisions were made by us."

Wearing blue tracksuits, the hired 'thugs' barged protesters out the way and even shoved spectators in Downing Street, where the torch was greeted by Gordon Brown. As the surreal circus made its way through London, no one seemed able to prevent campaigners launching wave after wave of attack. Flashpoints included Downing Street and outside the British Museum where more than 2,000 activists massed to protest China's role in Tibet. Former Blue Peter presenter Konnie Huq was almost knocked to the ground as a demonstrator tried to snatch the torch from her.

Elsewhere, as 100 protesters besieged the parade on Fleet Street, the torchbearing party was forced to stage a "breakout" using a London bus to reach the safety of St Paul's Cathedral, where the procession resumed on foot. Security was progressively stepped up until more than 50 police officers wearing heavy stabproof vests were taking part in the bizarre marathon. Resembling the U.S. Presidential bodyguard, they jogged along forming a triple ring of steel around the torchbearers. The inner circle was a blue ring of 15 Chinese "flame attendants" flown in from Beijing to "protect" the torch.

Surrounding them were 17 yellow-jacketed police officers on foot - who had to complete the full length of the gruelling 31-mile parade. Some of them ran along wearing cycle helmets "so they could use cycles if necessary", said the Met. Looking ludicrous, they held hands as they ran in a chain to repel any protesters who breached the outer ring - which was made up of a further 40 beat officers in black uniforms. In all, around 2,000 Metropolitan Police - including airborne, mounted and river units - were mobilised for the eight-hour event. The Met was forced to explain the role of the Chinese 'goon army' of security guards who surrounded the flame at all times. Officially described as members of the Beijing organising committee, the burly minders were flown in specially for the event. They patrolled alongside London officers and seemed unafraid to get stuck in to the running battles with protesters.The Met later denied the Chinese guards had been given any special jurisdiction, a spokesman saying: "Their role is to protect the torch. They do not have any executive powers while in London. Police officers were on hand to deal with any incidents."Former Labour minister Frank Field said: "This is deeply damaging to the Government. We just look silly don't we?"The only way we are getting the flame through London is by using 'police state' tactics. "Many of my constituents phone and ask for police support against yobs and are told they haven't got anyone available - yet when you have got the torch coming through London for a dictatorial totalitarian regime there seems no end of police available to protect the torch." The protests, over China's human rights record and occupation of Tibet, began soon after rower Sir Steve Redgrave started the parade at Wembley at 10.30am. Within ten minutes, police had arrested three people who attempted to board the official bus. Around the same time, activists Martin Wyness and Ashley Darby were held at Ladbroke Grove as they waited with fire extinguishers to try to snuff out the flame. About 500 campaigners gathered at Downing Street where former Olympic heptathlon champion Denise Lewis arrived with the flame. As several attempted to run towards the torch, they were bundled to the floor by police. Those taking part in the relay included ten Olympic champions, 18 schoolchildren and public figures such as newsreader Sir Trevor McDonald. The torch was lit in Olympia, Greece, last week and will go through 20 countries before being carried into the Beijing Games opening ceremony on August 8. The Prime Minister decided to greet it in Downing Street despite coming under pressure to boycott the parade and the Beijing opening ceremony. Opponents said Britain risked being seen as complicit with oppression, and recalled Chinese President Jiang Zemin's state visit in 1999 when police stopped protesters carrying the Tibetan flag, which is banned in China. In a classic piece of looking through rose-tinted spectacles, Liu Weimin, spokesman for the Chinese Embassy in London, said: "I was in the torch relay convoy today and I saw many people welcoming the arrival of the flame who were holding up banners of welcome to London.

"The people of London came out on this cold day to support the Olympic relay."

Asked if the Chinese would pick up the £1million bill for policing the event, he said: "This event was hosted by London so I cannot answer that."

Meanwhile in Paris, officials said that pro-Tibet protesters would "not get anywhere near" the Olympic flame.Police have secured a perimeter of some 200 yards around the torch as it is carried in relay by 80 runners on an 18-mile route from the Eiffel Tower to a stadium in the south of the capital.The torchbearers are protected by a cordon of 65 motorcycle police, 100 jogging firemen, another 100 police on roller blades and nearly 50 vehicles with more than 200 riot police.But mdia rights group Reporters Without Borders denounced the security arrangements.A spokesman said: "All that is missing is an appeal to Parisians to stay at home along the lines established in Beijing, where only officials welcomed the Olympic torch on a Tiananmen Square emptied of passers-by."

Tibet violence could spur Olympic opening boycott: Sarkozy
Last Updated: Tuesday, March 25, 2008 6:46 PM ET

French President Nicolas Sarkozy called Tuesday for China to open a dialogue with the Dalai Lama over protests in Tibet, and has suggested that he might boycott the opening ceremony of the Summer Olympics in Beijing this August.
Speaking during a tour of southwestern France, Sarkozy said skipping the opening event of the games was one of several possible French diplomatic responses to the rising violence in Tibet and Tibetan areas of surrounding Chinese provinces.

"Our Chinese friends must understand the worldwide concern that there is about the question of Tibet, "he said, "and I will adapt my response to the evolutions in the situation that will come, I hope, as rapidly as possible."
Asked directly by journalists whether he supported a boycott of the Olympic opening ceremony, Sarkozy said he would "not close the door to any possibility."
Paris-based media freedom group Reporters Without Borders last week appealed for an opening ceremony boycott by heads of state and government, as well as royalty — an idea that has gained the support of many in France, where there has been rising criticism of Sarkozy for what was perceived as relative silence on the Tibet violence.
A spokesman for Reporters without Borders said Sarkozy was the first world leader to show that level of sympathy for the boycott appeal. Prince Charles has said he will skip the Olympics while the White House said last week that U.S. President George W. Bush still planned to attend the event.
Fresh violence against protestors
Meanwhile, at least two people were killed Tuesday during a demonstration by Tibetan protestors in Garze, a prefecture in China's Sichuan province.
The protest started on Monday as a peaceful march by monks and nuns but turned violent when armed police tried to suppress the crowd.
China's official Xinhua News Agency said protesters attacked police with knives and stones, killing one policeman. A Tibetan-rights group said an 18-year-old monk died and another was critically wounded after security agents fired live rounds.
Garze borders Tibet, where several days of anti-government protests led by monks spiralled into violence on March 14 in the capital, Lhasa.
Also on Tuesday, China's top police official called for stepped-up "patriotic education" in Tibet's monasteries to boost support for Beijing, state media reported.
The government says at least 22 people have died in Lhasa while Tibetan-rights groups say nearly 140 Tibetans were killed, including 19 in the western province of Gansu.
The latest unrest indicates that Tibetan defiance is still running strong a week after thousands of Chinese troops fanned out in areas outside of Lhasa to clamp down on burgeoning sympathy protests.
The uprising is the broadest and most sustained against Chinese rule in almost two decades and the Communist leadership has accused Tibet's exiled spiritual leader, the Dalai Lama, and his supporters of masterminding the dissent.
Meng Jianzhu, the minister of public security, ordered Tibet's security forces to remain on alert for further unrest and said "patriotic education" campaigns would be strengthened in monasteries, according to the Tibet Daily newspaper.
"The Dalai clique refuses to give up their evil designs, and even in their death throes are planning new acts of sabotage," Meng was quoted as saying Monday during a visit to Lhasa, referring to the Dalai Lama and his supporters.With files from the Associated Press

"Fuck China & Fuck The XXIX Olympiad"!

Mon Mar 24, 12:20 PM
By Nicholas Paphitis, The Associated Press

ANCIENT OLYMPIA, Greece - Protesters disrupted the Beijing Olympics flame-lighting ceremony in Ancient Olympia on Monday and a Tibetan woman covered in fake blood briefly blocked the path of the torchbearer.
Protesters ran onto the stadium field during the ceremony, evading massive security aimed at preventing such disruptions in the wake of China's crackdown on Tibet.
One man ran behind Liu Qi, president of the Beijing organizing committee and Beijing Communist Party Secretary, as Liu was giving a speech. The protester unfurled a black banner showing the Olympic rings as handcuffs.
Three protesters from the Paris-based press freedom group Reporters Without Borders were detained.
"If the Olympic flame is sacred, human rights are even more so," the Paris-based group said in a statement. "We cannot let the Chinese government seize the Olympic flame, a symbol of peace, without denouncing the dramatic situation of human rights in the country."
China's Communist leadership has faced a public relations disaster since demonstrations against Chinese rule turned violent March 14 in the Tibetan capital of Lhasa, leading to waves of unrest in surrounding provinces. People who sympathize with the Tibetan cause have also staged rallies in other countries.
The death toll from the violence in Tibet has varied and been impossible to confirm independently. China's reported death toll is 22, but Tibet's exiled government says 80 Tibetans were killed. Another 19 died in subsequent violence in Gansu province, it said.
Greek officials said politics have no place at the ceremony at the 2,800-year-old birthplace of the ancient Games in southern Greece. More than 1,000 police were deployed ahead of expected protests by pro-Tibetan groups.
"The Greek government condemns every attempt to interfere with the ceremony for the lighting of the Olympic flame, through actions that have no relation at all with the Olympic Spirit," government spokesman Evangelos Antonaros said.
China state TV cut away from the protest at the ceremony and showed a prerecorded scene, preventing Chinese viewers from seeing the incident. Chinese television commentators did not mention the demonstration.
The flame for the Aug. 8-24 Games was lit using the sun's rays. From Olympia, the flame will embark on a 136,000-kilometre journey. The torch is to arrive March 31 in Beijing. It then will travel through 20 countries before returning to mainland China.
After the torch left the stadium, a Tibetan woman covered in red paint or dye lay in the road approaching the nearby village of ancient Olympia while other protesters chanted "Free Tibet" and "Shame on China."
The torchbearer came within a few metres of the protester, then stopped and ran in place while plainclothes police officers removed the woman. Police also dragged off a man accompanying her who was waving a Tibetan flag.
Police said the woman and the three members of Reporters Without Borders were being detained. One of the men arrested was Robert Menard, the group's general secretary.
"This is a disgrace," said Lampis Nikolaou, a Greek member of the IOC. "I am furious with these people ... who did not respect this site. Whatever their differences with China, they should express them in their own countries."
Chinese media reported that officials - who have blamed the unrest on the exiled Tibetan spiritual leader, the Dalai Lama - were prepared to prevent disruptions of the torch relay when it crosses China's borders.
China's plans to take the torch through Tibet and to the top of Mount Everest have upset Tibetan activist groups, which accuse Beijing of using the event to convey a false message of harmony in the troubled Himalayan region. Chinese Communist troops occupied Tibet in 1951 and Beijing continues to rule the region with a heavy hand.
"The more determined the Dalai clique is to ruin the torch relay and the Olympic Games, the more hard and good work we need to do on the preparation and the implementation of all aspects," Yin Xunping, a Communist Party official, was quoted as saying by the Tibet Daily newspaper.
The official Xinhua News Agency, did not give any details of what measures would be taken for the relay. A receptionist at the Tibet sports bureau said no officials were available for comment Monday.
Mount Everest straddles the border between Nepal and Tibet. China has already begun denying mountaineers permission to climb the Tibetan side of the mountain - a move that reflects government concerns that activists may try to disrupt its torch plans.
International Olympic Committee President Jacques Rogge told The Associated Press on Monday that he was engaged in "silent diplomacy" with China on Tibet and other human rights issues.
"We are discussing on a daily basis with Chinese authorities, including discussing these issues, while strictly respecting the sovereignty of China in its affairs," he said.
But he also said there was no credible momentum for a boycott and that while he was concerned by the violence in Tibet, the IOC could do no more than call for a peaceful resolution because it is a sports organization.
Germany rejected calls for an Olympic boycott on Monday. Some German athletes had reacted to the Chinese crackdown by supporting the calls for a boycott.
The German Olympic Sports Union said it was following the events in Tibet with "great attention and concern" but pledged to send a team to the Games.
In Nepal, police in the capital Katmandu broke up at least two separate protests by Tibetan refugees and monks on Monday and arrested as many as 475 protesters, officials said.
Chanting "China, stop killings in Tibet. U.N., we want justice," protesters were marching to U.N. headquarters in Katmandu when police stopped them about 100 metres away and snatched their banners.
Meanwhile, French President Nicolas Sarkozy offered France as a go-between in any new talks between China and the representatives of the Dalai Lama. Sarkozy called for "restraint" in Tibet and to end the violence with dialogue.
A Liberation newspaper poll published Monday suggests most French people want Sarkozy to boycott the opening ceremony of the Beijing Olympics this summer to protest China's human rights situation, but think French athletes should compete.
