I understand your point, England have used many West Indian born sportsmen - John Barnes, Lynfod Christie to name two but they did not become citizens to partake in sport.
I can understand having a link to a country through grandparents etc but I dont think the Chinese sportsmen have secret Qatari relatives! lol
Btw someone just sent me photos of Miss Arab World 2007!!! Bahrain won, and there was even a Miss Saudi Arabia!!!. Unfortunately don't know how to put them up here! Needless to say no swimming costumes.
I don't go to mythical places with strange men.
