Banned From Hockey Match For Black Undies

Extracts from and interesting article from The Star 21 August 2008:

"The Olympic dress code applies to places never seen, it seems, with the New Zealand hockey manager banished from the field at a crucial men's match because officials objected to his players' underwear.

Kevin Marr was ordered to watch the must-win match against Germany from the grandstand as punishment for three players wearing black undies beneath white undies in an earlier match.

Initially, the officials wanted to suspend the players involved but Marr successfully argued that was unfair because he was in charge of what they wore.

Under the Olympic field hockey rules, shorts and undies must match, but New Zealand were in their alternate white strip in their earlier match against China and the players did not own alternate white undies."

Wah! Wearing undies also have to be restricted. Never knew this. I wonder if they have this rule in the office.
