NAKED OLYMPIAN

Thu, 21 Jun 2007 by William Lobdell

Olympic swimmer and occasional triathlete (thank God there's a triathlon connection) Amanda Beard has taken off her Speedo for Playboy. It's created a little fire storm of controversy within the athletic community: does it degrade a female athlete to pose nude for a magazine?

The Iron Kahuna say no effing way. The original Olympians competed in the nude, for God sake. If the Kahuna stopped with the pizza, he would feature naked shots of himself on this very site. What do you think (not about the Kahuna posing nude, but of athletes dropping their clothes)?
