IIRC convicted child rapist Steven van de Velde was competing at the olympics, and took an attitude of "I've served my time", not showing much remorse. As in he felt as though it was unfair to talk about his crimes - specifically, that of raping a child - because he had spent a few months in jail and now he was an amazing athlete.

I'm really quite enjoying our current government's penchant for denying high profile visas.
First ye, then that conservative bitch, now this guy.
Kinda wondering who we can do next honestly. I'm hoping it's someone more controversial.

Really buried the lede with those labels. Doesn't feel like the volleyball really factors into what he has going on...
