DOHA: The organiser of a beach volleyball tournament in Qatar called a dispute over a dress code which would have banned bikinis “propaganda” as matches got underway in Doha on Monday.
Qatar had faced criticism from some players last month after the International Volleyball Federation updated its official dress code to require women wear a “short sleeve t-shirt. and wear knee-long sports shorts”.
Germany’s Karla Borger and Julia Sude said they would skip the FIVB World Tour competition in the conservative Muslim nation over the apparent ban on bikinis.
