No bikini? No deal.
Two world-class beach volleyball pros from Germany say they will boycott an upcoming tournament in Qatar over a policy that prohibits women from wearing skimpy bikinis on the court.
The women behind the boycott are 32-year-old Karla Borger and 33-year-old Julia Side -- two respected veterans in the sport who compete for the German national team.
The two were set to play in an FIVB World Tour event in Qatar in March -- where the weather is expected to be a searing 85 degrees -- but they're bailing over the uniform policy for women in the Muslim country.
