Bilal Fawaz is the British champion who cannot get a passport

This was published in March but I missed it at the time. Crazy story. Fawaz was on guest commentary on today's show and they mentioned that he still does not have a passport.

The peak of insanity was that he couldn't represent the UK at the London Olympics. Even though he wouldn't even have to leave the country to do so.

The fact that he is representing country at this level means he should be fast tracked, it's an absolute failure of the system.
