Much attention has been given to the fate of Russia at this year's Olympic Games. At one point, some suspected the entire country would be banned following revelations of a state-sponsored doping program. But a blanket ban was not issued. But the International Olympic Committee urged its member federations to take a closer look at Russian athletes and about 110 of 400 were banned heading into the Rio Games.This year, one country has been banned altogether, Kuwait. The IOC made the decision after the government of Kuwait passed a law interfering with the country's sports federations. That means that any of the athletes in Rio from Kuwait are participating as independent athletes. Two such athletes already won medals in Rio, the AFP reported Tuesday. Fehaid Al-Deehani won the gold medal in the double trap, a shotgun shooting sport. Upon returning to his country he said, "Many sceptics now realise that this participation and achievement are good for the country. We managed to win the heart of viewers, fans and the Arab world."

Maybe he will be able to compete for Kuwait in four years if the government changes its laws. This is not the first time that a country has been banned from the Games, but usually it has to do more with global politics rather than simple legislation. At other times countries have chosen to boycott the Games, usually because other countries are in attendance. The instances in which a country was banned or suspended are relatively few. But Kuwait, while maybe not in good company, is certainly not alone.
