The national Olympic body said there have been numerous instances where Soh has displayed conduct that falls short of the standards of attitude and behavior.

I'm not sure how much of this is true but I can understand why the Olympic body would decide that way. Sports is not just a place where winners win and losers lose. It's a place for sportsmanship and pleasant attitude as well. It's just so sad that some athletes today seems to ignore good attitude and focuses more on achievements.

Of course, let's not generalize. Not all players have attitude issues. Only some of them just can't handle popularity and ego. I hope we can still play and I'm sure many people would love to see him run for gold medal.
