Iran: Logo A No-go

Iran is threatening to boycott the 2012 London Olympics because it claims the official logo for the games resembles the word "Zion," which is a biblical term for Jerusalem.

Bahram Afsharzadeh, the secretary-general of Iran's National Olympic Committee, says he sent a letter to IOC president Jacques Rogge in which he condemns the logo as "racist" and calls upon other Muslim countries to join in protest. "There is no doubt that negligence of the issue from your side may affect the presence of some countries in the games, especially Iran, which abides by commitment to the values and principles," Afsharzadeh said in the letter.

Iran has refused to allow its athletes to compete against Israelis for the past three decades.   It's no surprise that the IOC rejected the complaint. "Our response is as follows: The London 2012 logo represents the figure 2012, nothing else," a spokesman said.
