The British Prime Minister thinks it would be better to attend the event and challenge the prejudices face on
Olympic sponsors are alarmed by Russia's anti-gay laws. Should Coca-Cola speak out against these laws? As the biggest sponsor of the Olympics, Coca-Cola is under growing pressure. The bosses of the most famous company in the world are taking a decision.
