So the American f1 team is kicking out the Russian driver?  Sweet 

Not really kicking out, but at some point probably being forced to let their employee go. And getting in big financial (and so existential) troubles as well due to not having their Russian money anymore, which is basically what the 'American' team has been running on.

 

Although if they're actually opting to kick Mazepin out by their own choice, seeing Haas go down would be kind of sweet. Too bad for the other employees though..

Total silence from GB Paralympics since their statement. Sounds like a boycott will be announced tomorrow. If 20+ nations withdraw the IPC would surely have to at least attempt a u turn or face a games with only China, Russia, Belarus and few others competing.

But IPC already made a very clear statement. Athletes can compete, but under the Paralympic flag, nothing Russian/Belarussian. Excellent. Countries who still want to boycott the whole thing because even that's not enough, go right ahead.

They are talking about Mario Andretti taking over the team

Breaking: :IPC has banned :RUS and :BLR athletes from the 2022 Paralympics. They will not be allowed to compete even as neutrals.

    • really sad when you win a olympic medal 3 years later and no one cares Of course it will be registered and so on, but all those moments of joy etc are gone. Yes its first Croatian wrestling medal since independence, but there was a medal won for Yugoslavia by Croatian.

    • Surely they will unless I am missing something. 
    • So, will they appeal to CAS like in Sinner case?
    • https://www.skysports.com/tennis/news/12110/13262332/iga-swiatek-five-time-grand-slam-champion-accepts-one-month-suspension-in-doping-case Cwnt see WADA not overturning this. One month for a banned substance is very low even for accidental consumption. I’ve only ever heard that short for something banned only in Competition and therefore not seen as fully doping. . 
    • big big news regarding Olympic bronze medalist and two time World Champion  Zurabi Datunashvili   https://ita.sport/news/the-ita-acknowledges-cas-add-decision-sanctioning-wrestler-zurabi-datunashvili-for-anti-doping-rule-violations/   to be honest everything was suspicious about this guy, his sudden improvement since 2021, his body, his sudden retirement in 2023 . its great to see him finally getting caught.   they will reallocate the medals later after the end of the process but his Olympic bronze will go to  Ivan Huklek, I think that will be the first ever wrestling medal for Croatia   his 2021 World title will go  Maskevich and the 2022 gold goes to  Bisultanov Bisultanov will benefit more than anybody else, he also gets a bronze from 2021 and  Kessidis will get a bronze from 2022.
