A picture of a guy holding a gun a enough to get kicked him off the Olympic team? Seriously? If that's representative of the opinions of that country, God Help them.

Nothin 'pussified' down here. Both these guys in the picture have a history of doing things which bring their sport (swimming) into disrepute. One smashes the face of a fellow swimmer at a party, then when he is convicted in a civil case declares himself bankrupt to avoid having to pay the compensation. The other guy claims he is a victim of a hit and run assault, only later confessing he actually fell off his skate board - a complete waste of police time and money investigating a non event.
We don't need idiots on our national team - we have done well in the past without them. As for our medal count in swimming, I think we have done quite well over the years.
