Boston Terrier Cut From U.S. Olympic Soccer Team
A Boston Terrier named Johnny has been nixed from the ranks of the U.S. men’s Olympic soccer team after allegations that he is a dog.
“All this time we thought he was just really short,” says Dick Sherman, the team’s assistant coach.
The International Olympic Committee ruled Friday that Johnny could not compete, per the strict rules about inter-species play. The U.S. team and its lawyers plan to dispute the ruling, though it’s likely Johnny will miss the Games even if reinstated.
