SYDNEY, Australia (AP) - Australian athletes at the Beijing Olympics will not be allowed to comment on their teammates or opponents, but criticism of China's human rights record won't be stifled.
The Australian Olympic Committee (AOC) said Wednesday that athletes selected to compete at the games will be required to sign a standard team agreement asking that they only comment to the media about their own events, prospects and performances.
AOC media director Mike Tancred said the agreement was only intended to stop Australian competitors from criticizing their teammates or opponents.
