[rec.humor.funny] Olympic athlete status

postpischil@being.enet.dec.com (Eric Postpischil) (03/20/90)

    According to American Rifleman:

         Romanian national shooting team members, including 1988 free
         pistol gold medalist Sorin Babii, were cited for "genuine
         acts of heroism" by the Romanian news agency.  Although
         reports were rather sketchy, it would seem the marksmen
         applied their skills to wipe out a group of "terrorists" that
         presumably were loyal to deposed dictator Nicolae Ceausescu.

    To me, this would seem to make the marksmen professionals rather than
    amateurs and thus disqualifies them from future Olympic competition.
