Iran's only athlete who could have faced off with Israeli withdraws

[mrveggieman]

I really hate people turning the olympics into a forum for their own political views. On the cool you would think that if Iranians hate Israel so much that they would jump at the chance to get in the ring with one of them. I guess that some people aren't as tough as they would like you to believe.
