Any call for a boycott of this summer's Beijing Games would be counter-productive, the Olympics Minister Tessa Jowell has said.
Her comments come after a group of Nobel Prize winners, international athletes and politicians wrote a letter to the Chinese president.
It asks him to use his influence in Sudan to end the conflict in Darfur.
Tessa Jowell said calls for a boycott Were a "great pity" and Britain was still committed to attending the games.

I understand that yeah... the conflict needs to end, but the Olympics have not been boycotted since i believe the eighties, in the cold war. That is going backwards.
