RIO DE JANEIRO -- An Egyptian athlete who refused to shake his Israeli opponents hand after their judo bout has been reprimanded and sent home from the Rio Olympics, officials said Monday.The International Olympic Committee said Islam El Shehaby received a severe reprimand for his behavior following his first-round heavyweight bout loss to Or Sasson on Friday.When Sasson extended his hand, El Shehaby backed away and shook his head, injecting Middle Eastern politics into the Rio Olympics. The referee called the 34-year-old El Shehaby back to the mat and obliged to him to bow; he gave a quick nod and was loudly booed as he exited.Judo opponents typically bow or shake hands at the beginning and end of a match as a sign of respect.El Shehaby, an ultraconservative Salafi Muslim, had come under pressure from Islamist-leaning and nationalist voices in Egypt before the Rio Games to withdraw, but competed anyway.The IOC, which set up a disciplinary commission to investigate the incident, said the Egyptians conduct was contrary to the rules of fair play and against the spirit of friendship embodied in the Olympic values.The Egyptian Olympic Committee also strongly condemned El Shehabys actions and has sent him home, the IOC said.The IOC also asked the Egyptian committee to make sure that all its athletes receive proper education on the Olympic values before coming to the Olympic Games.Immediately after the bout, the Egyptian Olympic committee had called it a personal action by El Shehaby, adding that he had been alerted before the match to abide by all the rules and to have sporting spirt during his match with the Israeli player.Sasson, who lost in the semifinals but later won a bronze medal, had said he was not surprised by El Shehabys actions because his coaches had warned him he might be refused a handshake. This was his decision, he said.Similar incidents have happened before at judo competitions between Israelis and Arabs.Egypt was the first country in the Arab world to sign a peace treaty and normalize relations with Israel after decades of war.

Kerry, Just watched the shootout in the Coyotes/Leafs game and I have to ask, why was the James van Riemsdyk goal allowed to count?

The 29-year-old Baines has established himself as one of the top attacking full backs in the country and was the subject of two bids from United during the last off-season.

George Springer Jersey . Hey!" The lower tier of the School End of Queens Park Rangers Loftus Road was packed solid with a very festive-sounding Chelsea choral section in this particular part of South Africa Road London, W12. Every day for the past two years at Western Sydney, Jonathan Aspropotamitis watched his skipper and realised how much leadership quality was lacking in his game.But now that the revered Nikolai Topor-Stanley has left the A-League, the 20-year-old prodigy knows now its time to put all that knowledge to good use.The communication side of the game, being more of a leader and taking more initiative when Im in the back four, trying to speak to the guys in front of me, Aspropotamitis told AAP.Thats the biggest thing Ive learnt from him and Im really thankful for that.Obviously hes a big loss to the club but weve just got to move on and fill the void because all the leadership that he portrayed to the club, weve all got to step in.In typical Tony Popovic fashion, the Wanderers coach spent little time dwelling on the loss of their foundation player this week, instead focusing on their next match against Newcastle.Aspropotamitis said the playing group knew how much influence Topor-Stanley had on the club.ddddddddddddThree grand finals, Asian Champions League ... every success the club had hes been a part of, the 20-year-old said.But weve just gotten on with things. Everyone knows the influence he had, but its business as usual.

The competition for places with us centre-backs was fantastic and still is. ' ' '
