i think they are with pernicious in the fact the ioc is massive hypocrisy.an amoral, set elected group of men and women, mostly men, who basically do not care about these human rights issues or their history of the last 20, 30, 40 years would have dramatically been different than what it is. >> in what way? >> they started with the 1936, what is now being called the not the games, where the ioc was quite willing to turn a blind eye to the beginnings of naziism in order to have the games in berlin. the games must go on, that is the moral of their approach to the sport. there have been countless examples sense where the basic human rights have been violated in host countries, and not just beijing from every host country, because of the ioc's requirement that protest be banned in or near olympic venues. host countries use that requirement to extend the ban on freedom of speech and freedom of assembly to huge areas and regions of their host city so that -- and we see this in london. we saw the critical mass cyclists getting cattle and harassed and treated inhuma

the ioc said they want to foster basketball in smaller nations. they want to make it a bigger sport and that when you have big nations taking on nations that maybe are just taking up the game, you're going to see games like this. they say they consider that last night absolutely a fair fight. >> okay. thank you, phil. >>> it's undisputed. so far the champions at the games, the ladies. just ahead on nightly news, how u.s. women athletes have been wowing crowds as they're winning medals. very exciting. >> straight ahead, our olympic coverage continues with a group of physically challenged athletes. >>> a close call in san francisco. why some are calling this construction mishap a miracle. >>> a seal washes up thousands of miles away from his home. the human help that's getting him back on the road to recovery. >>> good afternoon. i'm jeff ranieri in the weather center. you have showers across california. we're going to track our chances of getting any of this and here's a sneak peek at that weekend forecast as we head into your saturday. >>> today a

a twitter campaign urged the ioc to change the rules.t financial support while $6 billion earned around these games. dawn harper tweeted this photo. >> i understand the need for the athletes to tweet their sponsors and get them recognition. in the greater picture, there is no olympic games without these top sponsors. it's a catch it 2 to be honest. >> in may on "60 minutes," phelps showed off his medals to anderson cooper. >> these are the ones from '08. >> have you ever had them all together? >> no. >> the 27-year-old has a total of 22 olympic medals, 18 gold. they don't think phelps will have to give them up any time soon but there's one things that leer. >> this is the best thing to happen to happen to louie vuitton. they will associate it with michael phelps. >> the ioc has not said what action it will take. all have denied leaking the photos. >> nobody knows nothing approximate nothing. >> can he be held accountable as he says, if he had nothing do with leaking the photos? >> i mean, the ioc hasn't given any indication that he will

the crazy thing we know that great britain had trouble getting enough real security, yet the ioc weres of members of this brand police to make sure that the corporate sovereignty was some how secure. >> cenk: dave, you said two things that are amazing. the sovereignty of sponsors. now they're sovereigns. i think they're going to say--skew it. it's not the u.s. versus the u.s. and china it's nike versus adidas and reebok. >> we're head there had. there is a huge competition and publiccations like add week have proven. this. there is a huge competition to sponsor the olympics. studies show any company associated with the olympic game is looked at as a benevolent company. when you look at these main responders, it's countries trying--i don't know what the phrase would be, to green wash themselves or olympic-wash themselves but treat the olympics like they're lords and come out clean. the main sponsors are dow chemical british petroleum, and mcdonald's. you could call them the three horsemen of the corporate apocalypse. dow chemical is hugely terrible in great britain there is was a big d

the ioc wants to maintain the winners' resumption of denison's. >> should a sudden breeze -- raise and performance be primarily a suspected as being achieved -- that ruins the charm of the competitive sport. >> today the track and field competition. the iaf banned a number of athletes for doping in the run- up to the games. >> let's talk about this doping. there are two sides of this. what is your take on it? >> you have to assume anyone is innocenct until they're proven guilty. these are the most tested games in olympic history. everyone knows the people who test for doping are way behind the game. the one positive thing i would say is that the blood samples are now kept 8 years. if someone does dope and gets away with it, you can always get them later. >> we've been hearing a lot about these allegations throughout the games. are they overshadowing them? >> well, they are spectacular of course and they make headlines, but no, i do not think they really have. 3 athletes were suspended. and strictly from a sporting perspective, i think they are quite good games. i think some of the swim

interesting quote from the ioc saying people are not deprived of a contest. that refers to the badminton contest, where they said people were not trying. on another day, this could have gone against great britain. the team gold stays in the cycling. the women's gold. >> thank you very much. we hope the weather improves a little bit. it keeps changing every moment. you may have noticed that these games the athletes have been allowed to use twitter to send photos and express their individuality. lochte won a diamond-encrusted grill to the podium last week. female athletes have also found themselves.press their sel >> the world is watching. the athletes are all pretty keen to look their best. the trendiest are painted with the flag of the country you represent. >> i am from kuwait. i am rocking my black, green, and red. >> why is it so popular with swimmers? >> they will be reminded why they're here and what they're here for. it gets them motivated. once every nation at the games is i here. no hand is too big a challenge. >> i've done the great britain arches. a

. >> the idea of participating in sports was resisted for a long time by the ioc. these were the figures who broke down those stereotypes, the sheer physical effort was somehow become permanent. at london 2012, there are no sports that women are not allowed to participate in. women's boxing will be held for the first time in london 2012. i decided to ride the of the divisions, images through history. it has always been a very visual experience. certain images can encapsulate wonderful historical moments and can speak to a great advance, can tell very human stories, can be quite complex in the message is that they convey. probably the most significant example of the relationship between politics and sports and the olympic games happened in 1936 when the national socialist germany staged the olympics. 1968 provided the best salute. the photograph became an icon of an attack against racist policies in the u.s.. the massacre as it is known is one of the most disturbing and tragic aspects of politics of the olympic games coming together. what it exposed are the opportun

that's against most spirits of any sports and especially the ioc. the international olympic committee has definitely opened the way and they are now gone, leaving these olympic games. on a much more positive note we're talking about michael phelps. everyone waking up in the bay area to some history. what we saw yesterday was simply amazing. number 18 and number 19 in terms of his career olympic medals and that's number one of all time and here's something we don't talk about too often gold medals equals a gold mind. michael phelps will be cashing in. before this record even last year in terms of endorsements he was making about $10 million a year just in endorsements alone everything from speedo to kellogg's to pge and everything he endorses. now michael phelps will add to his bottom line. in terms of the gymnastics, guess who we hung out with just a short while ago. the fab five. yes. team usa gymnastic, they are so excited, the gymnasts who won the overall gold last night riding high on top of cloud nine. they said they could hardly sleep. they hi

the ioc didn't throw them out. it's the badminton federation that threw them out.hey will allow the other teams to play. this is sending one heck of a message. here is the problem i have with it. megyn: according to the reports, this is not a wholly unanticipated strategy. it apparently happens all the time. and they say this has been a persistent problem. so if it's been aloud, if it happens all the time and nobody has been thrown out, how are these girls to know they will get penalized at the olympics for doing it. >> if this happens in american sports on a regular basis. how do you prove the new york knicks basketball team intentionally lost that game so that in the playoffs they face off against the cleveland cavaliers as opposed to the miami heat. it's so hard. it was so blatant that -- i mean, it's one thing if you missed a shot. it's another thing if it's a whole game. megyn: one report said they only connected with the shuttle cock four times. and the federation determined they were trying to serve it into the net and trying to hit shots out of bounds. but
