Indian Athlete Boycotts Torch Relay

Hard for me not to be proud of this,
India's soccer captain has refused to carry the Olympic torch through the New Delhi later this month to protest China's crackdown on recent demonstrations in Tibet, a sports official said Tuesday.
One has to wonder if the U.S. or any of its athletes will protest in any form also. I imagine that the USOC has made it very clear to athletes that any dissent will not be tolerated, but I feel that there will be at least a few renegade athletes who will stand up for Tibet come this summer.
