Iran's president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad 'blocked from Olympics', Andrew Woodcock, Belfast Telegraph, May 18th
Iran's president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad claims he has been blocked by the UK authorities from attending the Olympic Games in London.
Mr Ahmadinejad told Iran's official news agency IRNA that he would like to be "beside Iranian athletes" at the Games, but that Britain has "a problem" with him being there.
The Foreign Office today refused to confirm or deny his claim, saying only: "We don't comment on individual cases."
