1. Cuba- Drugs & Scandals
Taismary Aguero was born and raised in Cuba prior to becoming a naturalized Italian citizen. She is one of the most famous volleyball players within the 2000s. Under the hands of Taismary Aguero, Cuba won the gold medal in volleyball inside the 2000 Olympic Games in Australia. However, she escaped to Italy in 2001 and having won a national team call-up became the very first naturalized volleyball player to score for Italy. Perhaps her greatest triumph was captaining her new nation to their initial World Cup triumph in Tokyo, Japan, in 2007. Ironically, Italy, led by the incredible play of Taismary Aguero, defeated Cuba 3-0 (27-25, 25-19, 25-16) in the finals.
Unfortunately, Cuba is already a nightmare inside the Olympic Movement. Why? They have showed this anti-Olympic feeling quite a few times. Angel Volodia Matos Fuentes, a Cuban taekwondo athlete, will be the only athlete within the Olympic history that has hit a referee. This sportsman kicked a referee within the face right after he lost a match at the 2008 Olympics. I'm at a loss for words. This is an insult to the Olympic vision, an insult to the spirit of taekwondo and, in my opinion, an insult to mankind", said Yang Jin-suk (World Taekwondo Federation secretary). Angel won a gold medal at the Summer Olympic Games in 2000.
Cuba did not sent a boxing team to the 1985 World Cup in Seoul, South Korea's capital. Why? Because Fidel Alejandro Castro Ruz didn't recognize South Korea as an independent and sovereign country.
This is why Regla Radameris Torres Herrera, who has received several offers to come to be a top fashion model in Italy, was suspended and could not play for a number of months.
Cuba's Javier Sotomayor Sanabria might be remembered as 1 of the worst examples inside the world sports community. In 1988, Prensa Latina -Cuban news agency- announced that in its annual poll of sportswriters Javier Sotomayor was named "Cuban Athlete of the Year". He beat out Felix Savon (boxing), Jorge Fis (Judo), and Ana Fidelia Quirot (track & field). Javier, recognized as "Soto", was 1 of probably the most successful athletes inside the history of the Cuban Revolution.
Ramon Fonst Segundo has won a lot more Olympic gold medals than Teofilo Stevenson (boxing), Alberto Juantorena Danger (track and field), Mireya Luis Hernandez (volleyball) and Felix Savon Fabre (boxing).Who is he? Ramon Fonst was a popular fencer in the 1900s, 1920s and 1930s.
Like Jose Raul Capablanca (chess) and Eligio Sardinas Montalvo (boxing), he was an athlete who constantly competed with really like for Cuba.
Ramón Fonst obtained 125 medals in competitions held in Europe, Latin America and North America. In the 1900 Olympic Games in France, Ramon won the gold medal inside the epee event, and in the 1904 Summer time Olympics within the United States, he won three gold medals. In 1926, he won two gold medals at the Central American and Caribbean Games in Mexico City. Certainly, Ramon Fonst is the greatest Latin American athlete of the 20th century.
In the early 1990s, massive quantity of athletes began leaving their nation mainly because of poor economic conditions there and severe therapy by the secret police. Many sought refuge inside the United States, Spain and Canada.
Under the direction of Jose Godoy, a Soviet-educated professor, he won just about all his competitions inside the 1990s.
"The selection to let him compete once more is like a hit in my face", said Arne Ljungqvist (vice president of the IAAF).Two years ago, Javier also had tested positive for drugs at the 1999 Pan American Games in Winnipeg (Canada). However, he had been exonerated by the Cuban Olympic Committee. Furthermore, Fidel Castro Ruz -Cuba's dictator- denied that Javier had taken cocaine. In an post in Granma (Communist party daily), Javier said " I'm innocent. I've only observed that substance in the movies. I´m the victim of maneuver, a dirty trick".
Three European countries, Norway, Finland and Denmark, criticized this controversial decision. "If you test positive and get suspended, you shouldn't get a decreased sentence just for the reason that you are a renowned track athlete", mentioned Patrick Sjoberg, a former globe record holder in men's high jump.
They were Yordanis Arencibia and Yurileidys Lupetey ( judo).
2. Myanmar- Sports & Dictatorships
Olympic sport can unify a nation like Myanmar -an Asian country which has numerous ethnic conflicts. However, it -pop. 52 million- has one of the world's worst Olympic teams. For unknown reasons, Myanmar didn't compete at the 1976 Summer Olympics in Canada. 4 years later, Myanmar -it officially changed its name from Burma in 1989- sent 1 athlete (boxer) to Los Angeles (USA). In 1996, Myanmar was represented by only 3 athletes (athletics and shooting).
At the 2006 Asian Games in Qatar, Myanmar finished 27th in the unofficial team standings (behind China, Bahrain, Hong Kong, Mongolia, Jordan, Lebanon, etc). In an interview, Khin Maung Lwin, secretary of the Myanmese Olympic Committee, said "Our NOC has worked in close collaboration using the respective national sports federations to create all the necessary preparations for participation in Doha 2006. We have chosen the athletes who showed their most effective form and achieved top outcomes from that 23rd SEA Games for the 15th Asian Games Doha 2006. As a founding member of the Asian Games Federation in 1949 and the Olympic Council of Asia, we believe the Asian Games is a very critical tool for the development of the youth of Asia and for the promotion of international respect, friendly and goodwill..."
The 1987 World Junior Volleyball Championship was boycotted by Cuba. The place: South Korea. For the initial time because 1978, volleyball players from Cuba didn't part in an Olympic tournament.
Cuba sent 120 athletes to the 1973 World Student Games, which were held in Moscow, USSR (currently Russia).The Cuban contingent participated in nine Olympic sports: basketball, athletics, fencing, gymnastics,volleyball, waterpolo, diving, tennis and wrestling.
3. Albania - Enver Hoxha's Legacy
Three teams took component and the hosts beat Nicaragua in the final in Havana.
In 2006, Osmany Juantorena Portuondo was the 18th Cuban athlete to be disqualified for drugs. He is Alberto Juantorena's grandson.
The Cuban dictatorship restricts the sports people's contacts with non-allies nations (especially South Korea, Poland, Puerto Rico, El Salvador, Hungary and the Czech Republic).
What will be the reason why Albania doesn't produce world-class athletes? Albania is well-known for its indifference to sports. It is 1 of the couple of European nations that have not Olympic champions. Albania was 1 of the most unsuccessful nations at the 2008 Summer Olympics in the People's Republic of China.

Is coverage good for the iPhone on the Blue Ridge Parkway?
We are taking a motorcycle trip down the Blue Ridge Parkway next week and I was hoping to use my iPhone for day to day planning and accommodations. I have AT&T as my service provider.
It is sketchy at best.
