Duno, i didnt make the decision .
I dont see what other conclusion anyone can arrive at just by reading that, Lutalo Muhammad fits in with the 'multicultural games' ethos more than Aaron Cook. There is probably more to it, but the article doesn't mention anything like convictions, doping bans etc.

I think he took some time out from "proper" competition or something, and as a result doesn't qualify in the Boa's view or some crap like that.
Absolutely ridiculous that we have a world champion and he's not allowed in his home Olympics, but they're happy to have ukranians and whatever representing us
