The International Olympic Committee (IOC) has announced that Iraq will not be allowed to take part in the upcoming Olympics.
This is the result of the Iraqi government replacing the country's Olympic committee with its own appointees.
The IOC expresses regret that no Iraqi athletes will be at the Olympics, and says they have been "ill-served" by their governments actions.
The Iraqi government has claimed that the original committee was corrupt and was not working properly. According to IOC regulations, committees must be free of political influence.
The real victims are the athletes who've been training hard and looking forward to participating in the Olympics. At least 7 athletes were slotted to take part. Iraqi sprinter Dana Hussain broke down and cried when she heard the news of the ban.
It's also a blow for Iraq in its journey to regain some semblance of normalcy as a nation.
