Mormons Boycotting Games

Misstatement:

"Salt Lake City Mormons plan on boycotting the Games to protest the fact that condoms are available for athletes at the Olympic Village health center."

Fact:

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has never considered asking its members to boycott the games, and has taken no position on this issue.
