'Plastic brits' do it for the paper

South African track legend Zola Pieterse, better known as Zola Budd, trains last week for the Comrades Marathon in Pretoria. Zola burst onto the world stage as a barefoot running sensation in the early 1980s when South Africa was barred from the global sports arena because of apartheid. Budd ended up competing for Britain and says foreign-born athletes get too much criticism. "You can't really blame people for trying to get into the Olympic Games," she said.
