News Khabran / Uniform ban threatens Iran's Olympic dreams
« on: June 08, 2011, 06:03:22 AM »Iran's female football team has complained to FIFA after the women were banned from playing a second-round qualifying match for next year's London Olympics because they wore hijabs covering their heads and necks.
The team wears a full-body strip and head scarf to confirm with Islamic dress code, but this outfit clashes with FIFA's uniform regulations.
A FIFA statement sent to Reuters said players are allowed to "wear a cap that covers their head to the hairline, but does not extend below the ears to cover the neck".
The Iranian team ran out to compete against Jordan wearing a hijab with the players' heads and necks totally covered, which FIFA believes is in breach of their rules.
"The match commissioner and match referee therefore decided to apply correctly the Laws of the Game, which ended in the match being abandoned," the statement said.
FIFA's rules for the 2012 Olympics state: "Players and officials shall not display political, religious, commercial or personal messages or slogans in any language or form on their playing or team kits."
Football Federation of Iran board member Farideh Shojaei expressed dismay at the ruling and said it would severely threaten the team’s chances of qualifying for the Olympics.
"This kit is neither religious, nor political, nor will it lead to harm to a player," Shojaei said. "The countries that invested, and spent money and time and took part in the second round will clearly not be willing to repeat these games."

News Khabran / Tallest female basketballer died at 37
« on: June 02, 2011, 07:07:22 AM »
The world's tallest female basketball player has died, along with her unborn baby, after suffering a heart attack at age 37.
Malgorzata "Margo" Dydek, who stood at 218.4cm, had been in a medically induced coma in a Brisbane hospital since going into cardiac arrest on May 19, Fox Sports reports.
The Polish-born Woman’s National Basketball Association (WNBA) star had been living in Brisbane and coaching a team from the Queensland Basketball League, the Northside Wizards.
Dydek, affectionately dubbed "Large Marge" by teammates, started her career in the WNBA after being selected by the Utah Starzz as the number one draft pick in 1998.
She played for the Starzz for seven years before moving to Connecticut Sun in 2005 and ending her career at the Los Angeles Sparks.
Dydek held the record for the most blocks in a WNBA career, with 877 blocks in 323 games.
She is survived by her husband David Dydek and their two sons.
