Olympic-size Censorship

As if my previous information about the Olympics was not bad enough, I have learned that the censorship imposed at the Olympic games goes much further! According to CNN, athletes, coaches and support staff are forbidden from blogging their experience. In my humble opinion, the IOC has grown into a fascist organization and has lost sight of its real goals. Are the Olympics not a venue for athletes to compete for the right to be the "best" in the world? Or are the games perhaps just another reality show, more concerned with ratings and revenues than the spirit of sportsmanship?

My boycott decision has been vindicated and reinforced. The Greeks from ancient times must be terribly sadden by the corruption and prostitution of the Olympic games.
