According to a report in the French sports newspaper "L'Equipe" NBC reporters were banned from their usual ringside seats next to the referees, at the Olympic Boxing bouts.
It seems quite normal to me that reporters should not be "sitting next to judges", whether they are NBC reporters or journalists from any other organisation, whether they have paid for their seats or not !!! The reason given for the Ban was that NBC journalists were trying to influence the judges !!!
It appears that NBC has appealed to the AIBA about this decision !!! Would it not be better to employ reporters who do not need the help of judges or referees ?
