ESPN.com is once again running a special report from December 2002 on sport in Iraq called Blood on the Rings, a special report of Outside The Lines and ESPN and ESPN.com. This report goes through the world of sports under Saddam before the U.S. invasion.

Don’t miss The Pawns of Politics, a special report that goes over politic’s role in Iraqi sport both under Saddam Hussein and the CPA & new Iraqi Government. This is the new report that is also front page news at ESPN.com and where I found the old report.
