BAGHDAD / Aswat al-Iraq: The Iraqi cycling team, participating in the Turkish International Cycling Tournament, withdrew due to Israel's participation in the event. You'd hope that the Iraqis would have learned a thing or two about who their real enemies are. Secretary of Cycling Federation Ahmed Sabri told Aswat al-Iraq that the "team decided to withdraw for administrative reasons related to Israel's participation." "The Syrian team also withdrew from the tournament," he added. He elaborated that the Turkish Federation understood the Iraqi decision, and decided to arrange a training site for the Iraqi team for one week, on Turkish account, to enable the Iraqi team to participate in Istanbul's International Tournament due in few days. |
