Boycott of Britain at Olympics?
NZPA-Reuter Nairobi The Kenyan "Daily Nation” said yesterday that African States were likely to demand the expulsion of Britain from next year’s Olympic Games at Moscow after the visit to Britain of the South African Barbarians rugby team. “The stage seems set for a repeat of the 1976 Montreal Olympics,” it said, in an editorial. African States boycotted the 1976 Olympic Games when the organisers refused to bar New Zealand, whose All Blacks had played in South Africa earlier in the year. “The tour puts the African countries in a spot,” said the newspaper. “Having boycotted the Montreal Games . . will they now turn a blind eye to the British who have done the same thing (as the New Zealanders)?”
