Sir, - I don't know why there is so much controversy about Sonia O'Sullivan being forced to strip. In the ancient Olympic games, all of the athletes competed nude.
I think the International Olympic Committee should consider reverting back to the naked athletes. That way, there would be none of this fuss about which sportsgear to wear and the TV ratings would dramatically increase. There might be a few concerns from competitors in the Winter Olympics, but nothing a good woolly hat couldn't solve. - Yours, etc.,
