Olympic boycott threats already

[Doggy Styles]

It's only the olympic sportsmen who are boycotting, Bob Shawadiwadi would be a mug to.

Would anyone give a sh*t?

A boycott by India, which does not boast a history of great Olympic success but has significant business and cultural links to the UK, would be a major embarrassment for Britain.

Translation:

A boycott by India, which does not boast a history of great Olympic success but has significant business and cultural links to the UK, would be a major embarrassment for those who were planning on using it to fix up some business deals.

Is kabbadi an Olympic spot?

I think they're pretty handy at hockey though. Or is that Pokistan?

India threatens to pull out

Lord Coe is under personal attack for signing the deal with Dow Chemical – under fire in India for its ownership of Union Carbide, whose Indian subsidiary was responsible for the Bhopal industrial disaster, one of the world's worst, estimated to have killed up to 25,000 people and injured over half a million.

Mind you, Dow didn't actually buy Union Carbide until well after the legal claims were resolved:

Dow bought Union Carbide in 2001 and insists that the legal claims surrounding the incident were resolved long before it acquired the company – which the London 2012 organising committee accepts. Dow claims the $470m paid by Union Carbide in 1991 to the disaster victims was final, although this is being contested in the Indian Supreme Court.
