London 2012 – GB athletes banned from 2012 opening ceremony


UK Athletics head coach Charles van Commenee has insisted no British track and field athletes will be part of the opening ceremony at next year’s London 2012 Olympic Games

Where is this mans head ? Obviously a very dark place.

For some olympic hopefuls the 2012 event may be their only chance to participate. So why are they being denied their rightful place at the opening ceremony ?

It might be different if they were going to be out partying and imbibing vast quantities of alcohol. But they are not, they are going to be representing their country.

So they should be able to participate in this one off event.
