A pair of German volleyball stars who threatened to boycott an upcoming tournament in Qatar have won their case.
Officials in charge of the Katara Beach Volleyball Cup, a tournament scheduled to take place in the Muslim nation of Qatar had planned to make competitors ditch their traditional bikini wear and don sand trousers instead.
However, German volleyball stars Karla Borger and Julia Sude threatened to boycott the event unless they could wear their bikinis in the expected 85-90 degree heat.
“We are there to do our job, but are being prevented from wearing our work clothes,” Borger reportedly told German radio station Deutschlandfunk according to TMZ Sports.
The pair also questioned whether a nation such as Qatar, which stands accused of human rights abuses, should be hosting the tournament at all.
“We are asking whether it’s necessary to hold a tournament there at all,” Borger stated.
Those comments and threatened boycott appear to have been enough to force officials to relent and allow bikini wear.
On Monday, the Qatar Volleyball Association said it was “not making any demand on what athletes should wear at the event.”

Get it back. Check out the carnivore diet. Things will start looking up.
I just watch beach volleyball for the articles.
In 9 months I’ll be 88...
Wish I had your confidence...😥
I just turned 74. Three years ago I was overweight and close to diabetic, also had a fatty liver. I’ve lost 50 pounds, BMI is 25, testosterone in the 500’s, Trig/HDL 46/59.
All meat diet, eat primarily one meal a day, usually close to a pound of beef. Some days I am hungrier and will have a snack of three eggs.
My Mom is 93. She needs to do this. She had her gall bladder removed, and says a high fat diet causes problems.
Thanks ETL!
