Trieste half marathon organisers are facing accusations of racism over their controversial decision to close the 5 May race to African athletes.

Race manager Fabio Carini told Saturday's edition of La Repubblica the move only to allow European entries was to make a stand against the exploitation of African runners.

"This year we have decided only to take European athletes to make the point that measures must be taken to regulate what is currently a trade in high-value African athletes, who are purely and simply exploited, which is something we can no longer accept." Interviewed on Rai Television Carini evoked athletes who were"underpaid and treated indecently in relation to their sporting value".Carini came under fire from an Italian member of the European Parliament, Isabella de Monte, who called the decision"serious and unworthy"."The situation is in the process of slipping away from us and we are returning to the dark days," the MEP for the Progressive Alliance of Socialists and Democrats said.

South Africa still waiting on post-apartheid promisesThe polls will be a severe test for the African National Congress which has held power virtually unchallenged in post-apartheid South Africa. I don't know about you but posters like this don't garner much sympathy from me. My reading this is that the coloured community would have been happy/unbothered by black oppression if only they were considered 'White'... It is a stupid way to address the previously oppressed Go vote for change and stop complaining
