U.S cyclists apologise for airport gaffe

BEIJING: A group of American cyclists has apologised to the Beijing Olympic organisers after arriving in China’s capital wearing face masks.

“A few of our athletes did wear masks as they came through the airport,” said Jim Scherr, the U.S. Olympic Committee’s chief executive officer.

“Those athletes regret that action and have written an apology to BOCOG on their own behalf. They now realise and understand how their actions were perceived by the host nation and by the organising committee.” — AP
