BEIJING, July 25 -- Iraq will not compete in the Beijing Olympic Games because of government interference, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) said Thursday. The IOC suspended Iraq's National Olympic Committee (NOC) in June after the Iraqi government dismissed and installed its own group, chaired by the sports minister. The IOC told officials in Baghdad that it was upholding the suspension.
The IOC Charter forbids political interference in the Olympic movement.
A stalemate between the two sides meant Iraq missed Wednesday's deadline to submit a team for the Aug。 8-24 Games.
"The deadline for taking up places for Beijing for all sports, except athletics has now passed," IOC spokeswoman Giselle Davies said. "The IOC very sadly has now to acknowledge that it is likely there will be no Iraqi presence at the Beijing Games despite our best efforts."
Four Iraqi athletes were expected to compete in non track-and-field sports - archery, judo, rowing and weightlifting. Their places will be offered to athletes from other countries.
"Clearly, we'd very much like to have seen Iraq's athletes in Beijing," Davies said. "We are very disappointed that the athletes have been so ill-served by their own government's actions."
The IOC and Olympic Council of Asia jointly sent a letter to Iraq's minister for youth and sport Jassem Mohammed Jaafar on Wednesday, confirming Iraq's suspension "despite joint efforts ... over the past few months to find a positive solution with Iraqi authorities".
Iraq's government said after the June 4 suspension that it wanted to meet the IOC "to make its legitimate case".
It said the decision to dissolve the Olympic committee was based on "solid evidence of blatant corruption, lack of legitimate transparent electoral processes and accountability, and absence of ratified legislation".
