A reluctant Georgian President Mikhail Saakashvili said Friday he signed a cease-fire agreement with Russia and declared in the presence of the chief U.S. diplomat that the West had behaved in ways that invited the invasion.

Greco Roman Wrestlers are not to be trifled with. This is the pinnacle of unsportsmanlike conduct, but I know Olympic wrestlers and the judging can be corrupt.
Also, Olympic wrestlers work their entire lives to get to the games, since the sport is so hard on the body (especially Greco) you do not see many wrestlers repeat their appearance.
