Olympics : disheartening news.

One single athlete was to defend Iraqi colours at the Beijing Olympics.

Though he was a weightlifter, the pressure was obviously too heavy for his shoulders : he tested positive for drugs.

Despite the fair supply of naturally homegrown forbidden products, steroids appear to have been his drug of choice : the kind of guy to have a hamburger at McDonald's rather than a proud local shish-kebab.

The Iraqi Olympic Committee has recovered from the initial blow and decided to select a new athlete.

Why not one of these fine rifle shooters the country seems so well endowed with ?
