Wow! I didn't think most of them would come from Great Britain! This just goes on to show how some people are really clueless when they attack Azerbaijan, for example, while the US, Australia, Russia and Great Britain are the "worst offenders".

Because Azerbaijan purchases these athletes for the sole purpose of them competing for the country. Australia for example is a multicultural country and an athlete chooses to compete for them. Australia didn't ask them to move or anything.

Froome's father is English, Renwick in Abu Dhabi because his father worked in the oil industry, Justin Rose's parents are English and he moved to England at the age of 5, Reed's family moved to GB only months after his birth, Wiggins' mother is english and they moved back when he was 2 and Hindes' father served with the british army.

Just because you're born in a country doesn't mean you belong there. Farah moved at the age of 8.

Froome may be controversial, as he has represented South Africa.

The point is I'm not trying to judge their reasons or anything. All I'm saying is that one way or another all of these countries benefit from naturalized athletes. I believe that this is not a big deal if they have been long-time citizens of the country. I see the difference. But the benefits are mostly unquestionable.
