Court dismisses an Italian protest over a water polo ejection at the Paris Olympics

Associated Press  

PARIS — The Court of Arbitration for Sport has dismissed a protest by the Italian Swimming Federation over the ejection of Francesco Condemi from Italy’s quarterfinal loss to Hungary in the men’s water polo tournament at the Paris Olympics. “It was a really tough game for both teams,” Manhercz said after Hungary’s win. “The brutality call in the second quarter really changed the game.” Apparently still upset with the officiating during the quarters, Italy players turned their backs on the pool during the national anthems before their 11-9 loss to Spain in a classification game on Friday. As part of its protest, the swimming federation asked for the cancellation of the sanctions imposed on Condemi and the final result of the quarterfinal.
