Of course, that doesn't preclude a nation designing their outfits in brightly coloured horizontal stripes that just so happen to bear a resemblance to a rainbow...

Honestly, #### the IOC. I would love to see an entire country or individual athletes do just that, and I think that's the best course of action. Force the IOC to come down hard on someone taking that stand, let's see how well that goes over. The IOC, like FIFA, is starting to skate on thin ice. People aren't as content to just sit back and let these corrupt fiefdoms do as they wish, if they start punishing people for speaking out in favor of human rights they can expect to see that ice thin considerably.
