    How would Uday feel about this?



    "Uday, the head of the Iraqi Olympic committee during his father's regime, forced under-performing sportsmen to wear a suffocating steel mask. He also set up a torture chamber in the committee headquarters.

    Other devices displayed at Al-Shaab stadium in Baghdad include a head-to-toe steel case with internal spikes that would have gouged the victim when the two halves were shut.

    Iraq's athletes are now motivated by pride rather than terror."
