In 2000, for instance, Qatar fielded an entire weightlifting team comprised of Bulgarians, helping the athletes change both their citizenship and their names so they could compete at the Summer Olympics in Sydney.

“We changed their names so they sound Arabic because their names are hard to pronounce,” Yousef Al-Mana, the president of the Qatar Weightlifting Federation, told the Orlando Sentinel at the time. “If you bring something good to Qatar, then you will get citizenship, too. This is a prize for you if you do something good for us.”
