Now you have to apologize if you want to protect your lungs in a city with one of the world's worst levels of air pollution?
Someone please explain this to me.

About Me
- Mandy
- Dallas, TX, United States
- I'm a recently-retired professional cyclist and model who just graduated in May 2009 from the Darden School of Business at the University of Virginia. I am a marketer at Frito Lay and love living in Dallas. I am a proud defector from the Left Coast. I escaped before webbing could grow between my toes. I am a Leo. I hate water. I love cats and abhor dogs who fetch things. I have a soft spot for Acuras. I only like men's legs if they are shaved. I will shamelessly brag about 4 things: my cooking skills, my ability to dress myself with flair, my fabulous hair (genetic!) and my 120 wpm typing ability. I can drive a gooseneck trailer, castrate a bull calf, throw a sem-decent loop, and preg-check a cow. Proud of that? Jury is still out...

crazy that they apologized... the locals use the same types of masks all the time!
I'm with you 100% on this. It's well known throughout the world that Beijing has a serious issue with air pollution. It's not a secret that their own citizens wear masks on a regular basis, so why should world-class athletes who need to be in top-form for a major competition have to apologize for protecting themselves? As with many things in this crazy world, it's all about keeping up appearances.
i love that this is happening. everything that the gov't has tried to keep under wraps - tibet, pollution, poverty - has just been magnified by media attention to the downplaying itself.
do you think that anyone would think twice about beijing residents' fondness for spitting, had the government not cracked down on it?
