Karma.. haha. US Cyclist demand apology from the USOC

Long story short. These sorry azzes with no hope to win gold, wanted to make some noise. So they wore a mask to Beijing and got their 5 minutes of fame.

Once the game began, these sorry azzes didn't make pass the final. They lost to the Europeans. Who showed up to the games w/o wearing any mask to protect themselves from Pollution.

Weeks, later, these sorry azzes claim that the USOC is to blame for making them apologize to the olympic host. They were hurt mentally. hahaha

Since they din't win a medal, they are are trying to sue the USOC for some $$$.

hahah. LOSERS.
===========================================
Who’s sorry now? USOC to meet with cyclists....

http://sports.yahoo.com/olympics/bei...v=ap&type=lgns

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (AP)—“Sorry” seems to be the hardest word for four American Olympic cyclists who wore masks at the Beijing airport. Now, the U.S. Olympic Committee wants to end the issue for good.

USOC officials will talk this week with the cyclists who wore masks when they got off the plane in Beijing. The cyclists apologized for offending the Olympic hosts, but now they are seeking an apology from the USOC for making them say they were sorry.

“If they have questions or concerns, we want to hear those, address them and bring closure to the matter,” USOC spokesman Darryl Seibel said Monday.

Cyclists Michael Friedman, Sarah Hammer, Bobby Lea and Jennie Reed had their attorney send a letter last week to the leadership of the Athletes Advisory Council saying the flap was “emotionally devastating” and had a negative affect on their Olympic performances. Of the four, only Hammer managed a top-five finish. She and Reed were considered medal contenders.

The cyclists want an apology from the USOC.

Am I thinking wrong for believing the cyclists had their rights violated and by being forced to apologize? I think the USOC was wrong to provide them with masks, then forcing an apology; I wouldn't doubt it would affect their ability to perform correctly.

It's like, lets put it in a "G" way. Say you are a track racer. Infiniti US sends you to Europe to a track performance, and puts a "US goes green" sticker on your car for advertisement. Now YOU are forced to apologize to Europe, they are offended by the sticker since it illustrates America is going green so it must be more "eco-friendly" than Europe. Your thoughts through the race will affect your driving as you know if you win you will be most hated and not appreciated, etc.

I mean, thats a poor example, but I somehow see the cyclists response.
