I have gone back and forth on the issue, feeling strongly about boycotting and then feeling for the athletes that have trained for years to compete.
I was sickened when China was awarded them in the first place. I have even read that China has forced some athletes to sign agreements that they will not criticize the government or policies of China while at the Olympics as a condition to be allowed into the country.
The real problem was them being awarded to China. Right now I'm against a complete boycott, but in 10 minutes it might think completely differently.
