Karatekas Disappear in Ukraine!
Sports Reporter

An otherwise sleepy Bangladesh Karate Federation (BKF) hogged the spotlight on Wednesday following a rumour that a ten-member delegation sent by the federation disappeared in Ukraine.
But the general secretary of BKF Neaz Rahim denied it saying that they did not send any team to the former Soviet State.

"The federation didn't send any team to Ukraine. But I've learnt that an affiliated club of the federation sent a team abroad last week of October. We are trying to find out the details," he said over telephone.

Rahim informed that they sent a team to Germany last September, which has already returned home while another team is now in New Delhi to get the visa for Mexico, which will host the World Karate Championship from November

19-21.

reminds me of the incedent where a bunch of bangladeshi swimmers went to compete in south korea...7 of them or sth like that and none of them knew how to swim.....all of them were there to overstay their visa...

upon jumping into the pool, they started to drown and were pulled up by lifeguards and police immediately arrested them....

we are heading for the day when we can face boycott from other coutries for not acting or having professional motives....

Most amazing story. It'd be tragic if it wasn't so farcical.
