Zimbabwean President, Robert Mugabe instructed the Commissioner General of Zimbabwe Police Republic, Augustine Chihuri to arrest and detain the whole Zimbabwean Olympic Team members immediately they arrived the Harare International Airport on Tuesday, August 23. Zimbabwe which is one of the countries in the Olympics without a medal presented a team of 31 athletes. The closest any of the athletes came to win a contest was at the 8th position. Mr. Mugabe who is incensed with the team’s performance told the Police Chief to arrest all the team members and detain them. “We have wasted the country’s money on these rats we call athletes. If you are not ready to sacrifice and win even copper or brass medals (referring the 4th and 5th positions) as our neighbors Botswana did, then why do you go to waste our money” he said.

That is ridiculous, but then again, so is Mugabe. Hope he does not treat them like the Iraqi soccer team!

Sounds like Iraq while Saddam, Uday and Qusay were still around.
Mugabe should be reminded what happened to them.

IIRC, Colombians murdered one of their soccer players for performing poorly (years ago).

Check it out. The damn things sell for as much as US$100 ... as collector items. The currency is completely defunct. Back in the day, I got mine for a buck on e-Bay.

Didn’t Saddam abuse the Iraqi national soccer team after they lost a match?

Me too. I got a set of notes for something like $5 on ebay. Worrying if it was counterfeit wasn’t a concern. :)

IIRC, Colombians murdered one of their soccer players for performing poorly (years ago).Colombian narcos who lost a lot of money betting on the team murdered him. Medellin, where he was murdered, was narco-syndicate central with one of the highest murder rates anywhere.
It's changed a lot since the rise of the Mexican cartels and the destruction of our borders. They can just walk here now. Why operate out of Colombia?
