Russian in for medal

AND we thought Aiden McGeady got a hard time for being branded a turncoat.

How about Becky Hammon - all-American girl, born and raised in South Dakota, a women's NBA star - playing for RUSSIA in the Olympics?

Apparently one season with CSKA Moscow qualified her for a passport and a bottle of vodka represented a bloodline.

More evidence the Olympics is a modern-day sham.
