Philippine Basketball
What a sorry situation….
From Wikipedia:
The Philippines, winners of four gold medals in previous Games, will not be participating in the basketball competition due to their suspension by the International Basketball Federation (FIBA). The political interference and conflict between the Basketball Association of the Philippines (BAP) and Philippine Olympic Committee (POC) is the cause of the suspension.[13] FIBA will only agree to lift the suspension if the two organisations agree to work together.[14] While the suspension remains, the team is not allowed to participate in any FIBA-sanctioned events.
This is one of things that bickerings and politics bring…
