Organisers of the Beijing Olympics have banned people from running nude - or streaking - in a series of detailed rules on spectator behaviour released yesterday.
The 22 restrictions and four prohibitions also bar spectators from taking in banners or leaflets supporting commercial, environmental, religious, political, military, and human rights causes, among others.
Banners, such as those saying 'Go China', will be banned from venues, and people will not be allowed to wear clothes with 'identical designs'.
Huang Keying , an official with the Beijing Organising Committee for the Olympic Games, said the rules were in line with the Olympic Charter, adding: 'Each spectator is subject to the rules aimed at maintaining ... order at the venues.'
Beijing organisers said the rules were virtually the same as those for the Athens and Sydney Games.
Zhang Zhenliang , who oversees the running of Olympic venues, said protesters and streakers inside venues would be punished according to related regulations.
