Muslim Clothing Disqualifies Track Star

[Contrary1]

Same outfit for three seasons...but, now the "rules" are enforced??? :eyes:
At first, I thought the reason would be that having her head covered was determined to give her an unfair advantage.

My guess is that some big-time donor was offended.

3. I saw the video at Yahoo this morning,

and the reason they gave for disqualification was that the outfit consisted of more than one color. I didn't see what the other athletes were wearing, but if they were all uniform in color, then maybe there was a point. However, I don't see why they couldn't have told the lady beforehand so she could have made a new outfit.

5. What bullshit !

What advantage? How does color give her an advantage. I cannot believe this decision was made in America.
