this time about the iranian athelete in the olympics who supposedly refused to face an israeli athelete for being israeli.

here some front page rag pundit toted that line

Arash Miresmaeili of Iran, a two-time world judo champion and a medal contender in the 66-kilogram class, deliberately forfeited his first-round match because his opponent, Ehud Vaks, committed the unpardonable sin of being Israeli.

when it fact the iranian athelete was discovered to be over the weight limit for it.

Arash Miresmaeili, a favorite in the under 146-pound (66 kg) class, failed to meet the weight requirement Sunday for a bout with Israel's Ehud Vaks and was disqualified.

He was quite open about this, he didn't want to fight a jew. He was close to the maximum weight and deliberately added some weight in order to get disqualified.

This should be in sports by the way. If someone would be kind enough to move it over there, that'd be swell.
