A medical expert has told Sky News Online that unless smog in the Olympic capital clears, athletes may find their timings "considerably reduced", adding: "It's not a situation where you would expect any world records to be broken."

An exclusive Sky News report revealed that pollution levels are worse than ever in the Chinese capital - 16 times worse than in London - despite attempts to ban cars and reduce factory emissions.

China's solution to the Human rights issue.

1. Jail all human rights activists
   
2. Control all internet access
   
3. Monitor & control all telephone access
   
4. Expel reporters that have written about Chinese human rights issues
   
5. Deny Visa's to any reporter that has given China any bad press in the past

Why again were they given the Olympic venue ?
