Meh, the Olympics, for all their athletic glory, sweat and guts, cannot help itself from being a drama-queen/attention whore/prima donna shit magnet.
On another note, that pic of the Spanish tennis team betrays a not so surprising display of cultural unsofistication:
It ain't surprising. After all, you can still see European football fans making monkey calls whenever a colored player enters the field. The lack of class and tact is just inexcusable in this time and age.

Almost all countries bar Spain & Italy have eradicated overt racism from the sport, those two won't be officially censured due to their power within the sport.
If England can be kicked from the international sport for their fans' violent behaviour, surely the Spanish can be kicked for their racist actions?

Spain and Italy don't have to worry about political correctness or racial taunts, they're both pretty non-diverse in their populations. How many Asians in Spain will be offended by those photos?

YEah... I just read about how the IOC (or whatever committee judges that stuff) actually backed up the Swedish wrestler's claim.
So I retract my diss of that guy. 
Good call my friend.
