The original Olympic oath was first introduced in the 1920 Summer Olympics by Victor Boin. It goes like this: "We swear we will take part in the Olympic Games in a spirit of chivalry, for the honour of our country and for the glory of sport." In 1961 "oath" was replaced by "promise" and "the honour of our countries" became "the honour of our teams". "Committing ourselves to a sport without doping and without drugs" came in in the 2000 summer Olympics. (See I'm smart ;-)

The Romans could cuss with the best of them. They used swear words before, during and after the days of Spartacus. But you won't find examples in your high school Latin books.
Greeks were only allowed to participate. Married woman were not allowed to enter the stadium or attend the olympic games. Young girls (virgins) and priestesses were welcome. Once admitted athletes could not withdraw from competitions.

Sophocles wrote Antigone. I swear that is.
Zeus presided over the Olympic games & only Greek men and boys were allowed in the games. Athletes had to swear a solemn oath before the altar of Zeus that they had trained for at least ten months and would compete fairly

Seriously I am not making this up but in ancient rome when a man would testify in court he would swear on his testicles. I don't know why but I know that's what they used to do.

This is a very rough guide but I hope you will be happy with it. Only men were to compete and you had to do it for the gods. Before the games you have to worship a statue, also to join you had to swear that you had done 6 months training ( the amount of time varies so this might be different from what you have heard ) These are the only rules I know.

It is "will swear." Example: "The man will swear if someone makes him mad."
It can if you either swear around it or teach it to swear.
"Asked" is not a swear word.
Yes they always swear whenever they get the chance. Usually Before concerts they swear, but in songs then, no they do not swear.
