Australian shooter Russell Mark arrived in Britain an angry man after being told he won't be allowed to sleep with his wife during the London Olympics.
Mark and his wife, Lauryn, a fellow competitor who is also on the Australian shooting team, have been told to room separately during the Games.
The 48-year-old Mark, competing at his sixth Olympics, said Australian officials had enforced the ban as a result of Lauryn's contentious appearance in "lads magazine" Zoo, where she was photographed holding a shotgun over her back dressed only in a green and gold bikini.
