Brazil police photo identity documents and publish them to the media

Boxing in the Olympics has always had a somewhat dodgy history, with the host nation traditionally doing well above average (sometimes suspiciously well above average) at their games.

Odd and sometimes diabolical decisions have been a part of it, LA in 1984 and Seoul in 1988 tend to atand out the most to me.

The problem is that it's a highly subjective sport, it's fast and what one person regards as a hit might not count with the next, there's also the potential to make serious money in boxing, a lot of it is cash payments and it, as such attracts a certain group of people who are after the fast buck. It's a pity as boxing tends to be one of the purest forms of sport left.

From the AH Olympics forum...

Lads Nikitin is 11/4 to win gold in the 56kg Boxing.

Having seen him get destroyed the last 2 fights and still win with the judges that's printing your own money.

Unless the Cuban's or Uzbekistani's have payed more.

Interesting point he makes about Team GB and drugs from the Russian perspective. I've heard vague whispers to that effect already, especially about the cycling.
