An expelled Greek athlete isn’t worth the time I could be scratching my balls!

Thank you Cap,

This is how that Chicago Tribune reports a greek politician as saying...

Greek politician Adonis Georgiadis initially tweeted that comments by two foreign athletes were creating a "major issue", but later posted: "Let's not go crazy over this for no reason; it appears the comments by these two athletes against us were made up. Let's see."

Any other links to support what Mr Georgiadis says, that this story is an ugly concoction...????

...indeed, this will be funny, the Olympic organisation is incapable of maintianing the decorum of Goodwill the Games are meant to represent, some stars are crucified, (still good for the ratings) others have better Agents, in the end it's Istanbul i worry about, without this credibility, imagine what could happen there.

The fascists of this forum are getting out of control:

Η Χρυσή Αυγή με ανακοίνωσή της καταδίκασε την αθλήτρια Νατάσα Κέλερ για το υποτιθέμενο ρατσιστικό tweet της κατά Ελλήνων αθλητών, προφανώς επηρεασμένη από το σάλο που προκλήθηκε σε μερίδα ελληνικών Μέσων καθώς και σε ιστότοπους κοινωνικής δικτύωσης.
Η Γερμανίδα χρυσή Ολυμπιονίκης της Αθήνας, ουδέποτε προέβη στις δηλώσεις που τις αποδίδονται, καθώς πρόκειται για ένα κακόγουστο αστείο, προϊόν μυθοπλασίας.
Συγκεκριμένα το σχόλιο που δεν έγραψε ποτέ η Γερμανίδα αθλήτρια, κάνοντας ωστόσο το γύρο του διαδικτύου, αναφέρει: "Το Ολυμπιακό Χωριό έχει γεμίσει με ξυπόλητους Έλληνες αθλητές. Μόλις τους βλέπουμε κάνουμε τους μαλ...ες, γιατί φοβόμαστε ότι θα μας ζητήσουν δανεικά".
Αναλυτικά η ανακοίνωση της Χρυσής Αυγής:
Οι αποχαυνωμένοι και άβουλοι πολίτες της Γερμανίας, με τρανταχτό παράδειγμα την αθλήτρια Κέλερ, να πάψουν να πιστεύουν τις ανοησίες του Focus και του Spiegel. Οι Έλληνες αθλητές θα αντιμετωπίσουν με παγερή αδιαφορία τις προκλήσεις αυτές και θα αποδείξουν στον στίβο την ελληνική υπεροχή και ανωτερότητα. Καλούμε την Ολυμπιακή Επιτροπή να αποβάλει πάραυτα την εν λόγω αθλήτρια για ρατσιστικό σχόλιο.

It was just a gaffe by some Greek journalists. The alleged statement was never made.

You are right to raise this, kimon. If a Greek athlete is not allowed to compete for making supposedly 'racist' comments then all athletes should be banned who make similar remarks. Or is it okay to abuse Greek or other nation's athletes because they're not black?

It's up to the Greek Olympic Committee to make a complaint to the IOC about these comments. After all they are the ones who are trying to set an example about the Olympic 'spirit' and 'brotherhood'. If they don't complain then they are hypocrites and only interested in being politically correct to look good to others.

Don't expect anything to happen though because racism apparently only exists towards poor third-world Africans. As for a German being racist? Whoever heard of such a thing?

Well said Hermes, after all what's good for the goose is good for the gander. It should be on par measure for measure.
