Dirty business for the German delegation to the Olympic Games.
Patrick Moster, the sporting director of the German cycling team, was caught making racist remarks during the time trial on Wednesday morning.
The scene was shown on live television.
In this sequence, we hear Patrick Moster shout to one of his runners, Nikias Arndt, "is catching up with the camel drivers", while he was overtaken by the Eritrean Amanuel Ghebreigzabhier and the Algerian Azzedine Lagab.
Words "unacceptable" for Rudolph Scharping, the president of the German Federation.
The latter intends to meet his trainer very quickly.
"Hol die Kameltreiber! Hol die Kameltreiber! Komm!"

He apologized
For his part, Nikias Arndt, wished to react: "I am scared and I clearly want to say that I distance myself from his words, the words used are unacceptable".
The main party has since issued a public apology.
He said to himself "really sorry" because "this should not have happened".
