Well-known journalist Grant Wahlas was one of the first in the media field to feel what strict control means in Qatar.
"CBS Sports" sports analyst at the press center thought to take a photo of the world championship slogan drawn on the wall and unexpectedly received unpleasant attention.
A security guard quickly approached and ordered to show the phone and delete the photo as soon as possible.
"It is forbidden to take photos here," - justified the man his behavior to the shocked journalist.
"Will this happen during the entire world championship?" - G. Wahlas later rhetorically asked on the internet.
