gotosy Posted August 12, 2012 Report Share Posted August 12, 2012 IOC withholds SKorean soccer player’s Olympic medal until political protest case is judged The International Olympic Committee will temporarily withhold a bronze medal from a South Korean soccer player who displayed a political sign after a game against Japan. The action by the IOC remains in place until the player’s disciplinary case is completed by FIFA. The IOC previously told Park Jong-woo’s team to bar him from the medal ceremony at Wembley Stadium on Saturday. South Korea beat Japan for the bronze medal. IOC President Jacques Rogge says FIFA must first decide on possible sanctions. Rogge says “we will take a possible decision of what will happen with the medal later.” After South Korea won on Friday, Park displayed a sign with a slogan supporting sovereignty over disputed islets that Japan also claims. The IOC and FIFA prohibit on-field political statements. http://www.washingto...b285_story.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Durban Sandshark Posted October 13, 2012 Report Share Posted October 13, 2012 Christine Sinclair gets suspended by FIFA for four games and fined for her behavior toward the ref Christina Pedersen in the Canada-USA semifinal match. I thought that amount of games should go to Melissa Tancredi not Sinclair because of the physical contact. I think FIFA wants to be a bully. No surprise Canadians are infuriated over this after the best performance for Canada's Olympians. http://www.thestar.com/sports/soccer/article/1270792--canadian-soccer-star-christine-sinclair-suspended-four-games-by-fifa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
