Rejected petition The UK government should commit to not sending a team to the Olympics re covid

IOC are requesting sportspeople are given priority for the vaccine-over and above actual priority/vulnerable people so the Olympics can go ahead!

More details

To send sportspeople across the world during a pandemic invites the spread of new strains and further puts both the host country and returning countries at risk of cross spread
So there should be no team sent to the 2021 olympics

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.

Deciding whether to participate in the Olympics is a matter for the British Olympic Association, not the Government or House of Commons.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
