Bibles allowed: how nice

The USOC has confirmed from the IOC that athletes will be allowed to bring Bibles into the Olympic Village next year. But what will actually be allowed into practice the closer it gets to August is yet to remain.

Beijing knows they are going into "put up or shut up" mode. Either come up trumps with your promises, or else. Sometimes I think they would rather take the risk on the "or else" part.

I wonder how long it will take for me to get the first email about something confiscated, censored, corrupted or worse. Maybe I am being cynical but after six years, nothing surprises me anymore.

They say they will allow certain items. But, mark my words, putting it into actual practice will be quite another matter alltogether.
