Norwegian team reprimanded for using the patch

IOC reacts to the birth control patches Susanne Glesnes (right) and Kathrine Maaseide have been using during the Olympics. Now the sand volleyball duo has to manage without.

It was revealed Monday that Glesnes and Maaseide are sponsored by the producer of the birth control patch. The women had placed their patches very visible on their shoulders, and it has been noted.

After being informed of the issue, Gerhard Heiberg, board member in the IOC, reacted because according to the rules in the Olympics, it is illegal to advertise for products during the Olympics games.

5. How very Scandinavian.

And I thought they were just matching Band-Aids. It is what's needed, of course: an official birth control patch of the XXVIII Olympics. Oh, and an official brand of condoms -- would Trojans be inappropriate in Greece?

6. And in between sets the network shows Levitra commercials.

Birth control is bad but 3 hour woodies for 70 yr old men is fine?
