  • Greece Bans Paraskevi Papachristou After Racist Tweet

    July 25, 2012
    Greek triple jumper Paraskevi Papachristou was suspended from the London Olympics for sending a racist message on Twitter.

    Greek Olympic officials said Papachristou "is no longer expected to arrive in London" after posting a tweet regarding African immigrants in Greece. A message on the Greek Olympic Web site said such actions "go against the values and ideals of Olympism."

    The offending message has been removed and Papachristou has issued a series of apologies.

    "I would like to express my heartfelt apologies for the unfortunate and tasteless joke I published on my personal Twitter account," Papachristou said in a posting on twitlonger.com. "I am very sorry and ashamed for the negative responses I triggered, since I never wanted to offend anyone, or to encroach human rights."


    if insults, threats, pressure, lies, etc were a part of the olympic games then always greece would win the games....exactly that is the greek way...
