Egyptian wrestlers keep vanishing abroad amid a sport in crisis

Comments

1. Aiden: it's hard to feel sorry for them when there are wrestlers stuck in Egypt who can't even get a visa to train anywhere else
2. Cipher Wolf: this is getting ridiculous, how can you safely compete overseas when your country's federation is more concerned with politics than protecting its athletes?
3. Aiden: unbelievable how little consequence there seems to be for fleeing the country to avoid persecution in your sport
4. Mendezdiego: how are the authorities responding to all these high-profile defections?
5. Marekvasquez: it's weird they're getting sympathy but the guys are still on the hook for breaking their contracts
6. Rogue Sparrow: why are these guys not just speaking out against the system instead of dodging it?
7. Arlo: who's to blame for not fixing the system instead of just criticizing the athletes?
