BRDO PRI KRANJU, Slovenia (AP) - European Union nations and Olympic committees opposed a boycott of the Beijing Games over China's handling of the Tibet protests.
The EU sports ministers and Olympic committees, holding talks Monday, said sports should not be linked to such a political issue and that previous Olympic boycotts had already shown what limited impact they have.
"Under no circumstance will we support the boycott. We are 100 percent unanimous," Patrick Hickey, the head of the European Olympic Committees, said in an interview with the Associated Press.
