As expected, the controversy that surrounded Gretta Taslakian and her coach at the London 2012 Olympics will remain unsolved as the Lebanese Federation dismissed any sexual harassment and asked Gretta for a verbal apology. [Link]
What I find unacceptable about this whole story is that a member of the delegation (supposedly her coach) was the one who reported Gretta to the Olympic committee and caused her ban from the Olympic village. They should have waited till they got back to Lebanon then dealt with the matter internally. That was an unprofessional and sort of “childish” behavior. As for Gretta, she has to come out and say what happened with her or else she’s to blame for this scandal as much as the Lebanese Olympic Delegation and her coach are.
Last but not least, someone should be asking the London Olympic Committee whether not wearing the proper uniform is a valid reason for banning an athlete, specially that other athletes have done the same and got away with it.
Najib, the olympics are over, who cares anymore. let bygones be bygones. live and let live. look forward not backward, you get my point 🙂
She was repressed, I think.
najib,
although i like the picture, and it is really hot. but man Gretta has a face lol
totally agree 🙂
she has a face but not too proud to show :))
My reaction to your posts about Gretta..

I see no one is reading properly the official reports.
Gretta was never reported by her coach about wearing the Irish colors uniform, but it was Mr. Antoine Chartier ( president of the Lebanese Olympic Committee) who came to the stadium in order to watch Gretta’s race, saw her during pre-race warm up wearing the Irish color uniform ( which looked so similar to the rest of the Irish athletes) and sitting in the Irish boot and being guided by the Irish team coach.
Previously there was a report from her coach talking about Gretta ignoring him, and never submitting to the plan designed for the Olympic pre-race camp, and being always away and absent.
In the report of Gretta’s coach nothing has been mentioned about any uniform or Irish team coach and The Federation made this clear already.
Mr Chartier already being informed about Gretta ignoring her coach, then seeing her warming up guided by the Irish team coach and wearing similar to them, was enough to make him take the decision to stop her from running the race. But Other officials interfered and begged him to let her at least run the race.
She went to stadium wearing the green uniform instead of the Lebanese official uniform, and millions of people watched her over the tv.
After her race she was called and informed to leave London on the first plane.
It is the rebellious behavior of Gretta which made Mr Chartier take this decision. She kept ignoring all authorities coz she’s a champ and that’s not an appropriate behavior.
Common guys, she was simply sent back to Lebanon 2 days earlier. That’s not a ban even. she finished her mission then sent back only for her to be warned regarding her behavior. As if she was banned from athletics and competition for a year.

Lol, “Bob” still did not get over it! Does anyone see Gretta going here and there giving a shit to the subject? Bunch of hungry dogs! Nobody would even know your names if it was not for her! LOL
Its becoming so dull this “racing” after trying to take her down.
Agree with Jay!
We’ll never know the real story. Gretta said that she didn’t wear the lebanese gear which is why she was banned. It makes me wonder why she didn’t wear it to begin with and avoid all this mess….after all, the lebanese flag is much nicer than the irish as theirs smell alcohool. lol
If she ignored her coach becasue she’s the champ and wanted to challenge him, then she deserves to be punished for it.
“If she ignored her coach because she´s the champ and wanted to challenge him, then she deserves to be punished for it.”
? why the hell someone would in first place to challenge someone who is in his side? A choosen coach, cs she was not obliged to take him! (or was obliged by any threat perhaps?)
“…Lebanese flag is much nicer than the irish as theirs smell alcohool. lol”
? Lol! I am cramping from laughter! What a racist argument! Do you make fun of black people and homossexuals as well?
All of you who stay blabla here and there in a negative way about Gretta, barking and gossiping, and making bad things to take her down, please find something good to do unstead. Jealous ppl. Just so jealous bcs she did her own way by herself, bcs of her free soul, barking dogs! All trying to take advantage of her name and charisma, and trying to put a leash for a natural star, so truly talented! Have anyone had the simple tought of how hard this girl have worked to reach this level, to be disgraced by mean and jealous ppl? Not fair! So many criminals doing bad things to people out there, and this stupid ppl preaching about a jacket colour, about her prived life, come on! Does that really matter? It was injustice and no way to try to prove other way! Some psycho ppl decide to get obsessed on her and make all this mess? Come on, again! And she have to be punished and apologise? No way this is something not personal! Anyone who have a little bit of brain will be able to see what is going on.
More: sure she will have to apologise. After all she is a woman, he is a married man with a new child born (big thing?, cs from what I have read here there is another child with serious problems, so seems there is no much care about children). She will prove how? And she will be responsable for the hell inside a new family? Different story of what they are trying to do to her! She is measuring the consequences, perhaps being held by threats? From what I have read here, and what I have followed after these days…something VERY serious is going on, and I hope Gretta will have faithful friends beside her, to help her to overcome this damage.
Damian, Nadia or whatver names u r using to comment with ur same obvious style. Why don’t u go and find urself a man in ur country like previously u have been suggested and get a life finally? Or maybe go back to belly dancing, Instead of dragging this subject over and over again to ur personal life. As if u have a clue about who is gretta or about this subject far away in ur country.
Why dont YOU go and find peace and be nice to ppl and to your family unstead of wasting time trying to destroy the life of this girl and repeating the same story over and over. You are the one who have not the simple clue of who I am but as far as Im concerned I know very well many things, does not matter, what matters is that you are acting in a bad way. Leave the girl alone to live her life and get yours, there is no need to do what you are doing, not measuring the consequences and having no sense of good will, throwing her private pics on the internet. I wish someone will some day throw YOUR private pics in the same style.
Nadia or Damian, i heard that you are a belly dancer! I’m not wondering why you defend Gretta…
Dearest pall Dani! (lol) Again very prejudiced comment! As we are blablaying and I have nothing to do right now but find something useful…I read this topic on internet and decided to write (whooopiii)! 🙂
Not all bellydancers are bad (in fact, it makes no sense, what one thing has to do with another)…not all irish are drunk (again whats the problem in being drunk anyway)…no problem in sexy pictures ( I dont call that porn, by the way, just sexy pics and very nice expression, but being a “doctor” (physician?) in a fake way, exercising the profession by stealing the id of another doctor with the same name, oh hell!, that sounds bad to me! If I would ever have been your patient, I would be very scared now, specialy if you have got needles in me! And, whats going on in that country tha no one put such a criminal in jail still? Can´t understand how we have such countries in the world which let ppl like this free on the streets! I would be worried if my son is getting appointment in such unsafe place, where no authority check for this matter! Thanks God for getting an american citzenship, after all!
Oh my God Damian/Nadia what an obsessed, frustrated and sick woman you are! Not even Gretta is bothering herself regarding these gossips and it seems you have nothing else to do day and night but sitting on the computer and obviously throwing your personal bitterness which nobody gives a sh@t about it.
Really, we are not interested to know the history of your failed relationship, especially that it seems you are a belly dancer and i read also that u r someone who use to drink, smoke, take drugs during her pregnancy.
Are you calling “private”, the erotic pictures of Gretta which are posted on modeling websites? I personally heard from many that they have seen them long time ago. They r beautiful and Gretta is not bothered about, so why u r bothered? Lol !
Have a life .
Oh by the way if u have private pics of the coach, we r interested to see :D, he’s so handsome , hihihi.
Eve/Dani/Bob….etc….I will take that with a sentence: “Never argue with an idiot, he’ll demote you to his level and win by experience!”
No problem, now everyone knows who you are. About all this lies you said about the mother of the girl, dont worry, some day a medical and police joint which are already long time officially reported and with dozens of witnesses will show you how it goes if you dare to make psycho days outside Lebanon.
By the way, how do you know Im talking of the coach when I spoke about pics? LOL! Regards from Thailand!
Such sick and liers. Low profile ppl. Anyhow if Gretta is fine is the most important. Swallow your ignorance, your lies, your hipocrisy, your evilness, and watch her raise, from down there. Failed mission! 🙂 Now stay here alone blablaying, cs really thats all you can do.
Demian do not make attention to this ppl, leave, we already know what is going on, be at peace and thanks for everything.

This explain part of why all this is being brought up, its more serious than Gretta´s matter and got on fire due to his exposure:
Concerned citizen says:
Dear bob i think what u need is to do a little investigation urself… Vahe Aprahamian is a liar and a con… He is not even a real doctor.. Doesn’t own a real degree (he has just read a lot of books, and he thinks he’s a doctor). He stole another doctor’s SS number( u knoq how each doctor has a special number written on prescription reports)who has the same name and has been pretending to be a doctor!! He needs to be exposed before he ruins more peoples’ lives, i just feel sorry for his next victim!! Here in the US we call that identity theft, and it’s prosecuted by law, we’re talking years in prison! So please do your homework people! I know this has nothing to do with the topic, but since you said “Dr Vahe”.. I thought u should know that he’s not!!
