Fair enough it's mostly an Olympic issue but you can't say she's blameless as she clearly understood the loophole and chose to take advantage of it. She herself isn't Hungarian, she's an American, but was able to compete for Hungary because her grandparents were from there. She knew what she was doing and she undoubtabley understood that she would be taking the spot of an actual athlete so she could say she was an Olympian. At least the Mexican and Eriterian guys were competing for their actual countries, that I don't mind as they are getting people interested in sport.
On a nicer note, I caught the Figure skating gala last night, it was really good, the guy from Spain had an awesome performance.
