If i noticed well, all qualified athletes from Bahrain are naturalized :redcard:

 

OMG! :facepalm:

 

You almost don't notice them with Azerbaijan and Qatar on headlines. I guess that's because they are not as successful in terms of medals/good results. Also Singapore, who has many Chinese-born athletes, but they are nothing like Bahrain.

just found out one was born in Nigeria to Bahraini father (says wiki) :d

 

but they will have around 25 athletes at least and 99% naturalized :spank:

 

Azerbaijan will have quite big team with good number of sports and also half of them naturalized

 

Qatar even managed to buy team sport

Also both Palestinians currently qualified are German-born. But you can't blame them, they didn't buy them. Their marathon runner is of Palestinian heritage (and she has Arab name) while their dressage rider is just a great enthusiast.

Well of course not every case of naturalized athletes is cheating :d 

 

But yeah, countries like Bahrain or Azerbaijan who practically get their entire teams together like this...no thanks.
