Marriage has its ups and its downs, but the downs don’t usually include being unable to sleep together.
Sunday, Nick Green, chef de mission of the
Australian Olympic
Committee, told Australian Olympic shooters Russell and Lauryn Mark via
email that they would not be able to room together in the Olympic
Village during this month’s London Games.
The husband and wife Olympians are calling the mandate stupid and
believe it was set off by Russell’s pro-sleeping pill stance and
Lauryn’s provocative photo shoot in the latest issue of The Zoo, an
Australian magazine geared towards the fellows.
Russell also believes they are the victim of discrimination. "The
stupid part of this, which I have argued to them, is that there are tons
of gay couples on the Olympic team who will be rooming together, so we
are being discriminated against because we are heterosexual," Russell
told Australia's Herald Sun.
In a morning show interview with Nine News Online, Russell explained
his claim. "It's common knowledge on the Olympic team that there are
plenty of gay couples, but that's a good thing. I have no issue with
that. I just think it's strange that heterosexual couples aren't allowed
to room together, but gay couples can obviously do that. Good luck to
them.
Imagine? Hmmmmmmm! Na waa ooooo! People sef.
