Playing against nuclear radiated athletes of Japan doesn't seem fair to me. First it was PED's and now it is this.

The IOC was not going to risk the lives of athletes competing in a country near Syria.Spain is financially weak compared to Japan.

Turkey is going to be the next Egypt so good to see the IOC show some foresight and give them the finger.

True dat. By 2020 there may be a lot MORE nuclear radiated athletes roaming the planet.

If that is the case then Uncle Sam should be leading the way considering all the nuclear facilities we have over here.

Shocked that Turkey would think of putting its name in the running considering that are right next door to Syria.

Turkey's Islamist premier is a megalomaniac. I'm sure he wanted his name in lights.

And I had a Turkish roommate once. He never washed his sheets all year. To get past his bedroom to mine in the suite, you needed a gas mask. Just sayin'.

Once again you fail. How many nuclear reactors does the US have spewing shit out??? I can think of two countries that are winning the "How much radiation can we spew out because we are idiots" contest.

We may not have them spewing out but we still have them.

The US has the best nuclear safety record in the world. Sure, there have been some mistakes (notably Three Mile Island), but overall, we have good equipment and good procedures. And the best of the best is the US Navy Nuclear Power Program. In fact, so many of our civilian reactors lure Navy guys (from submarines, aircraft carriers, and formerly cruisers) due to how good they are that the Navy has to have humongous re-enlistment bonuses just to keep them.

The problems people have around the world are NOT nuclear power's fault. It's the untrained people working it.

Orympics in Japan!!!!!

Ret's do runch.
