If I were the governing body of this particular sport I wouldn't let any country host the world championships unless they agreed to treat all competitors equally. Here an Israeli judo fighter wins gold but the host organisers in Abu Dhabi refuse to play his national anthem or show the Israeli flag - so he quietly sings it to himself on the podium, good for him. Why anyone goes to these medieval tin-pot gulf states I'll never know. Actually, scratch that, I do know why, it's entirely about filthy lucre and the lure of 10% off a fake handbag in a crappy shopping mall.
