[Margaret Pilkington]

Apparently there was a clause inserted in the code of conduct sometime in the 60's, after some athletes made some racial salutes when they were being given their medals. (Malcolm X type salute with a closed fist)

It is a good job I am NOT an athlete(the only thing that can run is my nose)because I
would have a very hard time keeping my mouth shut over human rights issues.

I also think that in this country, we take free speech so much for granted that we could breach the rules inadvertently by mentioning something that wasn't seen to be political.

It seems like everything has political overtones in China.
