			<description>&#60;p&#62;Belgium will not compete in the 2012 Olympics because of a sore throat, according to an announcement made this morning. It's understood  Belgium's mother wrote the note at the request of the Benelux country. Locog released the full text:&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;&#34;Dear Mr Coe,&#60;br /&#62;
Please let Belgium off of the Olympics this time round due to a sore throat and a bit of a cold.  Hes got a Drs appointment. Also he hasnt felt well generally and that business over the showers hasnt helped frankly.  I hope Belgium will be OK to compete in the European Games in 2016 but we'll have to see how things go.&#34;&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Olympic officials and a team of forensic scientists are examining the note, to establish its authenticity.  Lord Coe told a press conference yesterday that he was &#34;disappointed&#34; with the news, and denied it was related to an incident where he allegedly ordered the small European country do ten press ups in front of the European Union &#34;and then done a cruel laugh&#34;. Belgium's mother was unavailable for comment.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Meanwhile the Brazilian team, having looked at catering provision at its training facilities has asked &#34;to go packed lunch.&#34;
