@charlesinojie:
"This is all shades of wrong and should be condemned in its entirety. It is a thing of pride for every athlete to wear the national jersey and compete for one's country. Nobody plans to disgrace his nation at an international competition by not putting in their utmost best. In sports, you either win or are defeated, and when the latter happens, it is a time to regroup and restrategise for the future."
