The I.O.C. is sending out guidelines to athletes regarding their Olympic Games Tweets.
What is this? The I.O.C. keen to protect their corporate partners reputations from criticism? Their PR agents spin? Their accredited Media organisations?
What happened to free speech ? :rolleyes:

If you compete in the Olympics you don't have any free speech. The hosting country also restricts free speech as part of the deal to get the Olympics.
