The Olympics has a pledge on equality - why the hell can't the International Olympic Committee stand up for what it pledges to believe? Either countries should field male and female teams or they should be banned.

Love (not) the line in the article where it reports that women were once allowed to compete in a marathon in Saudi - as long as they wore abayas. FFS!

No problem PPG. Not started by me, I just wanted to publicise it because I think it is a dreadful proposal.

There probably already is a petition on the saudi issue or if someone knows how to start one could they start one? They could always tell people where to find it without posting a link.
