“The official in question accepted fully that what had happened had not been acceptable but stressed that it had not been intentional,” said the statement.
“The official concerned said that upon realising the mistake they immediately rectified it and ensured that the competitor concerned was presented with her medal before she left the Field of Play.”
The statement added that the official had expressed “deep regret” for what they had described as an “honest error” and a request to apologize in person to the competitor and her family had been initially declined.
“A written apology provided by the identified individual has since been issued to the competitor and her family,” the statement said.
It's a white woman making the mistake. It's less viral that way. And the closer they get to the American elections, the more 'racial incidents' we'll get to learn of in the American social media & MSM ecosphere.
I'm surprised they haven't pulled a George Floyd this summer. The backlash to BLM must be pretty severe if they got BLM to rein in their race rioting. But there is, of course, still a summer left. ;)
What a joke.

That comes next year when they really need to remind you of the their paramilitary wing
