Manama: An outfit worn by a Bahraini athlete last week at an international track meet has caused an outrage in Bahrain.
A leading parliamentarian blasted the sports authorities for "disrespecting Islamic precepts and offending local values".

He said the athlete should also be made aware of the indecency of her outfit.
