I sympathise for the athletes. However, we did this with South African athletes to put pressure on the Apartheid regime. All pressure mounts up.

I mean it might suck for them personally, but they know what they signed up for. You know as an Olympic Athlete you’re representing your nation. That you’re basically a propaganda tool. It goes with the territory.
