Another Gold Revoked
The Hungarian winner of the discus throw, Robert Fazekas, has been stripped of his medal and throw out of the games after he "refused to provide a complete urine sample." Apparently, he was asked to provide a smple after his award winning throw but was unable to uh...comply with the needed amount of urine. He needed to provide 75ml but only could squeeze out 25 ml.
According to Hungarian officials, Fazekas is "a deeply religious person who has always had difficulty to produce a sufficient quantity of urine in front of sample collectors. The athlete had a serious psychological block and asked to leave the doping station straight away".
Hmmm...what does religion have to do with peeing? Are they trying to say that he is a modest man due to his religious beliefs and is embarrassed to be peeing in front of others? Whatever. I mean, just drink a coupla beers buddy. You'll have to pee eventually after that.
