Some news about Russia

 

Russian Presidential Spokesman Dmitry Peskov has described reports saying that some clean Russian athletes could be barred from the Winter Olympics as "frustrating news" expressing the hope that the International Olympic Committee (IOC) will clarify the situation.

"Indeed, we saw this frustrating news in media reports. We would find it regrettable if such decisions have already been made," the Kremlin spokesman told reporters. "We hope that the situation will be clarified one way or another, because contacts with the IOC are being maintained, though on a limited scale. We hope that during these contacts we will be able to clarify [the situation] with the aforementioned Russian athletes."

Any of this name?

 

one is surely Sergey Ustyugov, who's ban is already confirmed by Russian Minister of Sports Stanislav Pozdnyakov's words to official news agancies (even if he's claiming that Ustyugov's absence in Korea is not due to doping troubles)...

 

2 more should be Denis Yuskov and Pavel Khulizhnikov (speedskating)...

All of them were according to their source. Potentially, every named cited today could be disqualified.

Italian press talks about 111 athletes who have been rejected by the IOC...

not all the names have already been released yet, but they will be in the next few hours...

It's also mentioned a first reaction from Kremlin already shouting for a full boycott of the Olympics from the Russian side...

"Not being included on the invitation list does not necessarily mean that an athlete has been doped"

 

That's how IOC reacted. Honestly, that's ridiculous. 

What joke, Bach destroyed the Olympics. You have a source for it?
