    Yeah but that’s not really what my question was about.

    Why shouldn’t the Dutch delegation select him? And what rules would prevent a selection of any convicted criminal?

    Or are we talking about the IOC specifically banning people convicted of child rape offences?

      Olympic athletes are representatives of their home country. Why the fuck would you pick a child rapist to be your representative? Were the cannibals unavailable or something?

        Because olypians aren’t chosen based on the morality of their character but how much they excell at their sport (just like most major sports)

          “We’re totally fine being represented by rapists because we wanna win, godammit.”
