Olympic decathlon hope Kristjan Rahnu has been arrested on suspicion of running a whorehouse.We won't go into details here, because we don't know any, and we would never stoop to making tabloid generalisations and assumptions. Here at Positively Transforming: Estonia we work on the principle of innocent until proven guilty, which is clearly something we share in common with former Olympic gold medallist Erki Nool and Minister for Justice Rein "Proud to be Bull-Headed" Lang, who have come out in defence of the athlete, and not with the Estonian Olympic Committee, who have removed Rahnu from the list of potential athletes for the Bird's Nest.
Whether or not any guilt is attributed to Rahnu - in the event of which he may face up to 12 years in prison - we couldn't think of a better story to attach a tagline to a la "you can take the boy out of Estonia, but you can't take Estonia out of the boy". We wish him well in his name-clearing endeavours (starting Monday) and look forward to cheering him on to a probably middling result in Beijing.

If you are going to combine two unrelated images then you should brush up on your photoshop skills. This image is more than 2 years old. You couldn't find anything more relevant.
