"I think it's a pity they didn't let Shahar play, but it's also the
fault of Shahar. Because she asked for the visa a few [days or two
weeks] before. The average person, if you want to go, you do it
[several] months before. Even though, it's still bad. It's sports, not war. Everybody should play.''
-- Dudi Sela, on the UAE's decision not grant Shahar a visa. Here's the thing. If Shahar applied too late and missed a deadline or something (ala Agi in Moscow last year) don't you think the UAE would have just cited that as the reason for the denial and EASILY avoided all the negative press? Whatever, Dudi. You should have your girl's back on this one. A pity, indeed.
