This is incredibly dumb if it is true. I am wondering how they found out about it. Maybe they have black helicopters following the athletes around London when they leave the Olympic village.

Quote:

Collins, won the 100-meter world title in 2003, was reportedly punished for visiting his wife in a hotel. The Guardian reported that Collins posted the following message on this Facebook page:
"Hours before my 5th 100m olympic race, i now find out i cant run,all because i was in a hotel with my wife/coach. S.K.N.O.C REALLY? Are you freakig kiddin me!!!!!!!!"

Then he followed up by tweeting: "Even men in prison get their wives to visit."
Collins, 36, was competing in his fifth Olympics and carried the flag for St Kitts & Nevis at the Opening Ceremony.

London itself has something like 10% of the world's security cams. And that was before the Olympics. (In fact something like 1/4 of all the world's security cams are mounted in the UK.) And in preparation for the Olympics they deployed a whole new big brother type computer system to manage the London cameras, so they actually could have programmed in the athlete's faces and the facial recognition software would have been able to track him through the streets of London. That being said shouldn't we be giving athletes praise for actually ****ing their wives rather than someone else?

There's more to the story, or the story is fake.

^ Collins definitely never ran in the 100m. Which is his event.

This is truly absurd. He has been the ONLY athlete to represent St Kitts and Nevis in as long as I can remember, and not only that, he has done so very well.

Probably more to the story than "just visited his wife" then.

I mean, if there were some sort of rules where you can't leave the athletes villa or whatever and he did so anyways because his wife was close by, that's on him. You don't get special rules just because you're at home.

Who knows though. I'm just blindly speculating.
