Olympic disgrace

I cannot believe that the Canadian Olympic team has decided to include Todd Bertuzzi in the team for the Games in Turin. What are they thinking?

Watching Bertuzzi attacking Steve Moore is frightening. "Bertuzzi's assault-from-behind on Steve Moore has to rank as one of the ugliest incidents in the history of the game." Okay, so the NHL - in a stomach-churning move - cleared Bertuzzi to play again after suspending him for what amounted to a few weeks for breaking a man's neck. Does this mean the Canadian Olympic team has to follow suit?

He does not belong on the Canadian Olympic team. He does not belong in Turin.
