Winter Olympics: Diplomatic boycott of Beijing Games is 'meaningless', says Coe
CNN
World Athletics President Sebastian Coe said he takes human rights "very seriously" but that Britain's diplomatic boycott of next year's Beijing Winter Olympics is "meaningless."
The United States, Australia and Canada have also announced a diplomatic boycott of the Games over China's human rights record, a stand that China dismissed as "political posturing".
Coe drew criticism over his comments last week when he said he was "philosophically opposed" to boycotts.
