If somebody pull out on personal grounds it is not all a news. But if they are protesting China they should speak it out openly. Otherwise, what is there to carry it as a "news". Bear in mind, if India is going to host Olympics do anybody think that the International media (synonym for Reuters, AP both controlled by US corporates) would abstain from raking up the Kashmir issue and similar things. The West is jealous of China (or any third world country developing faster)and that is why the Tibet come up at this particular time.
