Govt will sue Olympic body
Kuwait said on Thursday it will sue the International Olympic Committee in Switzerland for $1 billion, the latest twist in an ongoing struggle that's blocked athletes from competing under the Kuwaiti flag at this year's games in Rio de Janeiro. The comments by Minister of State for Youth Affairs Sheikh Salman al-Homoud Al Sabah, carried by the state-run Kuwait News Agency, came after the IOC suspended the Kuwaiti Olympic body in October on grounds of government interference in sports.
