He was removed from the US team's list of competitors before Friday's draw. Get well soon, Gary, you've made your country proud. Go pro and make some big bucks. First, Frankie Gavin, then, Gary Russell. Who's next?

| Re: U.S. Olympic Boxer Gary Russell Jr. Collapses, Out of Beijing Games Poor kid ... hope he makes a full recovery .... and i suppose it shows how hard it is to make the weights at these tournaments and on reflection maybe the British camp were right to send Gavin home ... at least he didnt push himself to the point of collapse like this poor kid.
