Damn! I was looking forward to watching him get ko'd by 18 yr old from Uzbekistan.

Surely someone with Khan's massive influence could have the qualifiers and the Olympics themselves pushed back a couple of months to suit his diary.

Khan's brain is still scrambled from that brutal KO. He can claim temporary ******ation as a reason for wanting to fight in the Olympics.

The same reason citizens of Paris and U.S. shoot up night clubs, no loyalty.

He is a ****** first and foremost, Pakistan is a ****** country.

If Pakistan had invested the same amount of money in Khan as GB did when he was an amateur I have no doubt he would have represented them in 2004.

He pretends to be some kind of global philanthropist, when in reality he just wants to promote himself...and Islam.

I was backing Khan to win gold for Pakistan this year. Dammit!
