Virtually all of them appeared to be in their twenties, young males with too much testosterone. * * *

Ma and pa will be so proud... Elite water polo athlete suspended following riot June 17, 2011 10:07 CALGARY — An elite athlete who was headed to the University of Calgary on a scholarship has been suspended from Canada’s water polo team after images surfaced of him trying to light a police car on fire during the Vancouver riot. While the frenzied flogging of the 17-year-old from Maple Ridge, B.C., intensifies on social networking websites, Water Polo Canada has suspended the player until an internal investigation and hearing are complete. “We are aware that there are allegations a national team athlete allegedly vandalized a police vehicle during the riots,” Ahmed El-Awadi, executive director said Friday. “We’ve done a preliminary, internal investigation ourselves and have provisionally suspended the athlete.” No charges against him have been announced. The Herald is not releasing the teen’s name as he is a minor. The images of the athlete, who has been a member of the junior national team for about a year and a half, has gone viral since Wednesday night after the Vancouver Canucks lost in the Stanley Cup final to the Boston Bruins and violent riots erupted in the streets. Pictures and videos circulating online show a male attempting to stuff a rag on fire into the gas tank of a police car. “We have pretty strong feelings about this,” said El-Awadi. “The behaviour doesn’t represent a Canadian athlete and we take it very seriously, as the country does, too.” Calgary Herald canada.com
