Iranian wrestler Karimachiani banned for throwing match per BBC News

Antisemitism in sport:

'Wrestling's global sporting body has banned an Iranian athlete for six months for deliberately throwing a match to avoid an Israeli opponent.

Alireza Karimachiani was winning a match against his Russian opponent in November's under-23 world championships when his coach ordered him to lose.

If he had won, he would have faced an Israeli athlete in the next round.Iran does not recognise the state of Israel and bans its athletes from competing against Israelis.'

Casual antisemitism from an Iranian. I wonder what the former part time Iranian state TV presenter, Jeremy Corbyn has to say about this news. Would he also oppose contact with Israelis?
