Norwegian team reprimanded for wearing "the patch"
EFLIOC reacts to the birth control patches Susanne Glesnes (right) and Kathrine Maaseide have been using during the Olympics. Now the beach volleyball duo has to manage without. It was revealed Monday that Glesnes and Maaseide are sponsored by the producer of the birth control patch. The women had placed their patches very visible on their shoulders, and it has been noted. After being informed of the issue, Gerhard Heiberg, board member in the IOC, reacted because according to the rules in the Olympics, it is illegal to advertise for products during the Olympics games. I suspect they were advertising to fellow athletes as well as home viewers. Posted by: Super Hose 2004-08-20 |
