This comes on top of earlier news that online services will not be allowed access to the Games in the interest of protecting television rights.

This is enough for me to conduct my own personal boycott of TV Olympics. I admit that it's not hard for me to do, since I watch very little of it anyhow.

On top of the ads portraying Olympic atheletes as super-human, I've just had it.
