Thailand's First-Ever Olympic Gold Medalist Sentenced For Attempted Rape
A Thai court on Thursday sentenced the country's first Olympic gold medallist to just over three years in prison for the abduction and attempted rape of a teenager. Somluck Kamsing, now 52, became a national hero when he won featherweight boxing gold at the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta. The Khon Kaen provincial court found Somluck guilty of child abduction for molestation and attempted rape, before granting him an appeal and bail. "For attempted rape by force and taking a person over the age of 15 but not over 18 for the purpose of indecency, the first defendant's actions constitute a single offence that violates multiple laws," a court statement said.

It was played as a demonstration sport at the 1936 Olympics in Berlin but did not gather enough support to be included in the Summer Games and since then has been largely eclipsed by India's ferocious love of cricket.
