EDITORIAL
In the beginning of Olympics, athletes, coaches and officials swore to an oath; a promise to abide before, dur-ing and after every game. The oath strengthens the imple-mentation of rules of every game because through this, athletes, coaches and officials committed themselves not to break any rule in any game.
But it is an inevitable fact that almost always these rules are meant to be broken. Officials themselves are the first ones to break the rules; the first persons who make irregularity in a certain event. When others find out these anomalies, they would just shrug their shoulders off. Offi-cials often break rules to pave the way for their bets; to ensure that their team would be the winning team even if they do not deserve to win.
This is what actually happens. At times when offi-cials see that their opponent is a way better than their team, they try to look for loopholes and do hideous acts only to disqualify the better team even if it means breaking the rules.
They are called offi-cials and some of them do not even think twice about breaking the rules and guide-lines of a particular game; what do we call this? -unfairness and anomaly.
Unfair on the part of the athletes who compete with all their might, striving to achieve victory, but their vic-tory seems too far for them when officials get in the way trying to manipulate the events, favoring the team they handle.-a perfect exam-ple of breaking the rule, of lawlessness. If this would be the trend in this institution whenever we have Olympics then better not hold any event like this. We would only shame ourselves by breaking the rules imple-menting lawlessness just to favor teams which are threat-ened by the best ones who deserve for victory.
