Controversy

The Iranian team chanted an aggressive "war cry" at the Israeli team and refused to play them. They were subsequently deemed to have committed a "gross misuse of the sporting platform for political aims" and were disqualified. Iranian team manager Asghar Dadkhan formally apologised the following day and stated that other Iranian athletes would comply with the regulations.[3]
