埃及代表团穿山寨耐克参加奥运 源自中国制造

Yomna Khallaf said her workout bags had a big Nike logo in the front but the zippers had an Adidas branding on them.

The Egyptian Olympic Committee (EOC) secretary general, Motaz Sonbol, said they were shocked to find that the gear was not "directly from Nike".

Nike said it was "concerned" athletes may have received products that do not meet the company's quality standards.

A Nike spokesman said the company was recently made aware that the EOC chose a sports gear vendor who allegedly supplied counterfeit footwear and apparel bearing the Nike trademarks.

The company said it was now in discussions with the EOC to see if a solution could be reached.

But the committee's chairman, Gen Mahmoud Ahmed Ali, defended the decision to go for the "counterfeit" gear because of his country's tight finances, AP reports.

"We signed with a Chinese distributor in light of Egypt's economic situation," he said. Ms Khallaf tweeted that she had to spend more than $300 (£195) of her own money to buy satisfactory gear.

The general accepted no responsibility for the counterfeit goods, telling Ahram Online: 'You can never tell the difference between the original and the fake ones.'

BBC Arab Affairs Editor Shaimaa Khalil says the incident has caused a major controversy on social media, with some users describing it as a disgrace.

埃及游泳运动员卡拉夫在博客中抱怨，虽然埃及代表团的服装上面印了一个大大的耐克LOGO，但拉链上面的商标却是阿迪达斯。她自己已经花了300多美元来购买更优质的训练套装。

埃及奥组委主席阿默德·阿里最近承认，埃及代表团运动员所使用的耐克服装和背包均是赝品。不过阿默德·阿里表示，即便这是赝品，但质量也足够好：“考虑到目前埃及的经济形势，我们与一家来自中国的经销商签订了协议。” 本周三，阿默德·阿里在接受美联社采访时说道。他还表示，真货的价格实在太贵，目前埃及的财政状况负担不了如此费用。

耐克公司已经在星期三发表了声明：“我们高度关注此事，如果情况属实，那么那些运动员所穿戴的耐克产品根本没有达到正品耐克的质量标准。” 耐克还表示几周前他们就试着与埃及奥组委联系，但没有结果。目前，他们要求埃及方面立马采取行动：“我们目前正在与他们讨论，看看能否商讨出解决办法。”

国内动荡不安的政治局势，已经让埃及的旅游业连续17个月受到重创，也让埃及的汇率持续受到影响。阿默德·阿里表示，他们在与中国经销商接触前考虑了一些其他选择，但最终还是接受了中国经销商的报价。因为，那些大体育用品公司的报价会让他们为每个运动员花费300到500美元，这不是埃及代表团能负担得起的。

“这是很大一笔钱，尤其是在我们有112名运动员的情况下。另外，别忘了我们还有教练，管理人员和医生一起前往伦敦。”阿默德·阿里说。
