Between steroids and boycotts, debt, and fighting nations, these Olympics will never be forgotten. But let us start with the boycotts. In this year 28 countries, including Iraq, Egypt, and Algeria boycotted the games. These countries boycotted because the New Zeland Rugby Team toured South Africa earlier in the year, and the International Olympics Committee refused to bar them from the games. ||

A United States swimmer accused the women of using steroids because of their big muscles, and deep voices. An East German coach said, "We came here to swim, not sing." Germany never directly denied using steroids, and 20 years later it was proved that the swimmers had used steroids. ||

Canada tried to compromise by saying that they could keep their flag and anthem, but they still did not compete in the games. ||
 * [[image:Montreal_Olympic_Stadium_2.jpg]][[image:Montreal_Olympic_Stadium.jpg]] || The 1976 Olympics were stated to be the most poorly organized, and most expensive Olympics to date. The daring design for the stadium caused Montreal to be in debt for 20 years following the games. They raised taxes on tobacco to try and make-up for the loss. The origional cost for the stadium was set at C$134 million and ended at a grand total of over C$ 1.61 billion. ||
