Paris Olympic Bid Features New Approach 
(2003-05-21) -- The bid by Paris, France, to host the
2012 Olympic Games includes a novel approach to
competition, according to insiders at the
International Olympic Committee.

Here are some of the French-proposed changes, which
organizers believe will make the games more
compelling.
-- Athletes from the United States and Britain will be
required to wear shackles and manacles during most
events.
-- Judges in gymnastic and diving competitions will
have unlimited time to register their scores. 
-- Hans Blix will oversee the search for athletes who
use chemical agents to enhance performance.
-- No sharp or heavy projectiles may be thrown without
permission from the United Nations Security Council
