The Olympic Legion

Call me old fashioned, but I'd like to be able to assume that the members of the Italian hockey team are Italians.

This TIME article shows that is a bold assumption. Ten of the 23 members are really Canadians.

This could make the Olympics less attractive. Rather than seeing a country's best, you may simply be seeing an athletic version of the Foreign Legion.
