South Africa’s Olympic fate decided by Lausanne vote
In Lausanne Switzerland the IOC rejected South Africa’s bid to compete at the Mexico City Games, citing apartheid policy and a 40 vote margin over the required majority. The decision ends a prior postal vote during the Winter Games and triggers potential boycotts from about 40 nations while South Africa denounces the ruling as illegal and immoral. In boxing results, Levi Forte outpointed Eddie Tahmami in Miami and Joe Brown stopped Vic Graffio in Beaumont, with other bouts in Walpole and surrounding towns.
