I was reading the news "What happens to North Korean athletes when they fail to bring home the gold?
ABC reported on Thursday that the state offers a carrot-and-stick approach to the Olympic Games; athletes can look forward to refrigerators, cars, and televisions when they win, and labor camp when they lose.
The rumors are unconfirmed, but ABC writes that "review meetings" after competitions often result in athletes' expulsion from their sports organizations and assigned time in labor camps."
now that is a shocker ..!!!!!!
If this is proven to be true then that country should be banned from competing in the Olympics ever again.
It should be easy to find out ....if it is not looked into it would make the Games an utter travesty' as it is absolutely opposite what the Olympics stand for.
