Some criticized her behavior, questioning her maturity and competency. Others called for Marin to take a drug test, which she took on Friday in response to the criticism. The test results came back negative on Monday, the Finnish government wrote on its website.

You say Allan Rothstein’s behavior is not unique. How common is it?

I wish I could say that this was an outlier, but it’s not. There’s this idea that maybe what was unusual was that the landlord put it in the lease — well, that’s not unusual either. I had a landlord include in a lease a clause demanding daily lap dances. I have seen dozens — and that is not an exaggeration — dozens of leases in the past year alone with a clause that the landlord has to approve a female tenant’s overnight guests. And these are from form leases, with boilerplate language that is available on the internet. That just shows how far this has gone, that a major publisher of legal documents has it right in their standard lease that you get to approve your tenant’s overnight guest. There’s only one reason for that to be in there in the first place: because they’re so commonly used. [Ring sent Curbed examples of such contract clauses from the National Apartment Association, SignNow, and Rental Lease Agreement.com.]

“Due to bad timing, and the unanticipated call for me to climb the wall, my head covering inadvertently came off,” it explained.

The post added that she was on her way back to Iran “alongside the team based on the pre-arranged schedule”.

BBC Persian’s Rana Rahimpour says that to many people the language used in this post looks like it has been written under duress.

Other Iranian women who have competed abroad without wearing a headscarf in the past have said they came under pressure from Iranian authorities to issue similar apologies, she adds. Some of them decided not to go back to Iran.

She was pressured into this confession. They were threatening her brother - it was obvious because they had a press conference with her and her brother was there - but the Iranian people knew what really happened. The swarmed the airport when she arrived back from the competition and they gave her a huge hero’s welcome.
Here’s the video of her being welcomed back.

Yesterday was the 40th day of Jhina Mahsa Amini’s death. It’s traditionally a day to visit the grave. The government blocked road access to her grave but thousands of people got out of their cars and walked over 10 miles to pay their respect.
