Tasha Kheiriddin: Boycotting Beijing 2022 may not change China, but it will spoil its glory

Article content As the countdown continues to the 2022 Olympic Winter Games in Beijing, human rights groups called this week for a full-blown boycott, given accusations of China committing genocide against its minority Uyghur Muslim population and its recent suppression of basic freedoms in Hong Kong. According to a coalition that includes Uyghurs, Tibetans and Hong Kong residents, “The time for talking with the IOC (International Olympic Committee) is over.” The statement comes the same week that the U.S. Congress is holding hearings on the issue, and days after the United States Olympic and Paralympic Committee said boycotts are ineffective and only hurt athletes.

Sport vs science: How doping subverted the Olympics

The Rodchenkov Affair starts by setting out how sports testing labs operated in the Soviet era When Covid-19’s ‘’Dr Doom’ – University of Otago epidemiologist Michael Baker – warned against New Zealand participating in the troubled Tokyo Olympics, no one took the bait. But even if most of the world also rejects his advice, the Games will be far from normal even if they go ahead. Baker’s reservations may be pandemic-related. He could also point out the Olympics in the past have been a sham thanks to the intervention of science. On another front, lab scientists are also being called out for their role in turning coronaviruses into potential weapons of war. This arises from the revelation by Australian investigative journalist Sharri Markson that US authorities have a 2015 document on biological warfare by Chinese scientists and public health officials.

Gateshead revisited | World Athletics

The Wanda Diamond League will be reopening a treasure trove of world class athletics heritage when the 2021 season gets underway with Mondo Duplantis, Dina Asher-Smith and co in action at the Muller Grand Prix Gateshead in two weeks today, Sunday 23 May. Rabat’s misfortune in being unable to host the opening event, due to ongoing coronavirus restrictions, has afforded one of track and field’s traditional hotbeds the opportunity to get back on the international map. The International Stadium in Gateshead, directly across the River Tyne from Newcastle in the north-east of England, last staged a one-day showpiece event in 2010. The Aviva British Grand Prix, one of the inaugural season Diamond League meetings, featured a UK debut by one of the all-time greats from halfway round the planet. New Zealand’s big shot Valerie Adams won the shot put with a heave of 20.06m.
