AC Milan keep Kaka out of the Olympics

Kaka will not get a chance to live the Olympic dream as AC Milan have refused to allow him to play in the Beijing games.Reason : " Kaka is already part of Brazil's national side. The club does not think it is right for Kaka to also be involved in official matches for Brazil's Olympic team."
However every one of the 16 teams in Beijing have national team players on their rosters, even the U.S. The rules permit it. The tournament is for players under 23, but each team is allowed three "overage" players.So it seems like a dubious kind of explanation.There's a better reason here...
