Best Answer

Afghanistan is planning to participate in the 2008 Games. They had been banned by the International Olympic Committee in 1999 in part to the Country's refusal to allow women to participate in sports. They returned to the Games in 2004 and are expected to field a four person team for the 2008 Games that includes one woman.
