I suspect that it wasn't really a rape, but the dumb idiot fucked a 12yo kid, so he deserves all the suffering.
That being said, if he served his time, he has all the right to play here. In his place, though, I'd have tried to stay anonymous instead of showing my face in front of the entire World.
It was statutory rape.

She 'consented', but, at least in the UK and the Netherlands, the idea is that a 12 year old can't really consent.

What makes his case worse for me is that he travelled to the UK to have sex knowing her age. It wasn't impulsive.

he's right to have a career but i also think that said career should not be in sports. let him do construction, driving, accounting, whatever that doesn't involve kids and won't require any special moral values like sports, religion, education, law enforcement or medicine
There is nothing special about sportsmen. They're not supposed to be role models and they are not, and most importantly, they don't necessarily have access to children due to their profession.

Children are no less safe because he's doing sports professionally (unless he's coaching kiddies).

we see that very differently then

also sports are usually about fair competition which require the basic understanding and respect of some rules. how can you expect a pedo/rapist to respect any rule? they have already failed in following the very basic rules of society.

Fagioli didn't just gamble.

I don't like the Dutch guy. No one does. But that does not mean I get to disrespect his right to play.

Thank you. Everybody is being a faggot about this guy.

Man served his time, and he still has the right to have a career.
This isn't about him playing for me. It's like like "oh he was 19 and she was 17 or 16," she was 12. He's a pedophile that has already acted on it, there isn't much lower in society. How much of a difference really is there between him and someone on To Catch a Predator?

Yes he "served his time," but to me and evidently many others there is no sufficient amount of time that can be served for this.

Understandable. I'm sure that's how most people feel but I still see criminals as people, and I believe in second chances. I guess not everyone is as forgiving when it comes to these things.

I have to admit that as a Chinese I have no idea why the pic goes viral on social media. I have to look up in the dict to know that wang is a rude word for penis.

Now I am explaining this to every friend I can talk to about it lol.

Btw, FYI, in Chinese long wang means dragon kings.

wow! These Olympics sure is boring! In the limelight:
- a pedo volleyballer
- stuffing your face in a split cunt
- opening ceremony
- the Algerian xy woman
- turk casually shooting his way in to a meme

What about the sports? Anyone noticed Ezzalzouli?

Frankly I think pretty much everyone talking about it is insanely stupid.

He was convicted and he did his time in jail. A court looked at the case in question and punished him knowing all the details of the case.

Exclusion from the Olympics was not part of that punishment.

Neither do the rules from the sports organizations or the IOC prevent him from taking part. They could change those rules, but they haven't.

I understand his case may evoke all sorts of feelings. But really, it's not up to any of us to administer some sort of additional civil punishment just so we can feel better about ourselves. And it's ridiculously hypocritical as well, when half this forum is still cheering for Fagioli.
I'm all for booing him at every opportunity. His feelings are hurt? It's a consequence.

They should 1000% disallow it. Any rapist of any kind, let alone a child rapist, has NO BUSSINESS in a sporting event like the Olympics. Sports having moral clauses or moral behaviour standards means nothing apparently.


Should been a walking red flag from the first second this idea of him competing came up. It's absolutely shameful by the Dutch and Olympic sports authorities.
I wouldn't necessarily single out rape per se. But if Donald Trump cannot be allowed to travel to certain countries as a convicted felon, why should an Olympic athlete be any different?

Then it comes down to who is hosting the games that year, which is kind of arbitrary.

I don't know if statutory rape is a felony in the UK and the Netherlands. But I wouldn't think it unreasonable for the IOC to disqualify any athlete convicted of a felony.

I do need to get to Shanghai one of these days. Great oversight from business trips I took through China in 2001 and a decade later.
