Latvian parliament officially approved an amendment banning its national sports teams from competing against Russia and Belarus as a sign of solidarity with Ukraine.

 

The amendment to the law on sports prohibits Ice hockey, football, basketball and other national teams from playing against Russia and its ally Belarus, regardless of whether they compete under their own or a neutral flag.

 

Lawmakers also approved another amendment that prohibits organizers of sports events in Latvia from inviting Russian and Belarusian national teams. The measure was approved by the 100-member parliament with 74 votes, 11 deputies voted against.

 

If Latvian teams find themselves in a position to compete against Russia or Belarus at the 2024 Paris Olympics, they will be banned from doing so under the new law. Many Latvian athletes also already considered boycotting the Olympics if the Russians were allowed to participate. The reigning Olympic 3x3 basketball champions, who are from Latvia, have said their team will not participate in the Paris Olympics if Russian athletes take part.

Latvia is playing a dangerous game. The IOC typically doesn't like it when governments interfere with sport governing bodies.

 

 

 

 

Realistically, this hurts Ostapenko the most since Russia/Belarus in tennis has been mostly unaffected. 

I thought the law only affected national teams, not individual athletes.

Anyone know what's happening with Russia's appeal against the Olympic ban? There's a hearing listed on the CAS schedule for 26th of Jan for ROC vs IOC which I thought would be this appeal but maybe it had to do with Valieva?

Maybe that's about their formal membership suspension for claiming sports governance over contested Ukrainian territories?

I think that's probably the same appeal as the Olympic ban appeal. The Valieva hearing wasn't listed at all on the schedule so I guess that ROC vs IOC hearing must have been it given the ban was announced a few days later?

Haas F1 team officially parted ways with Uralkali & Nikita Mazepin.

 

Almost 2.5 years later and EU has lifted the travel sanctions on Mazepin & his father which means they can enter EU again. Moreover Haas has to re-pay 9 of the 13 million dollars they received for signing Mazepin into a two year contract.

    • Has everyone seen the leaked report on the Algerian boxer?
    • Is the Grand Final officially this Saturday?
    • Huh, there's still countries buying F-16's?     Coincidentally we said goodbye to our last ones a little over a month ago (Belgian ones are still sometimes flying here though).
    • Yeah, Harris might not be great, it is still definitely better than having an outright psychopath as president, again. At the very least it should be someone who is at least capable and willing to, you know, communicate like an adult. Trump very clearly can not do that, although one would assume his childish yelling and overall immensely bizarre way of speaking (from his intonation to his 'we did great, everyone thought it was great, they couldnt believe how great I was!') must appeal to a certain kind of person, I suppose.
    • Alix Klineman has also announced her retirement following the conclusion of the AVP League    https://www.instagram.com/reel/DB9CZwrPfqj/?igsh=MTZiaDk0NndmaTAzcQ==   What a sad year for beach volleyball, with Brouwer, Meeuwsen, Ludwig, Bobner, Pavan, and now these two retiring. 
    • It's good that Argentina is starting to get back on track economically. Every year, all of our alpine skiing teams train in August in Argentina in Ushuaia: "Fine del Mundo", as it advertises itself.
    • The relation of Trump with Russia and, more specific, with Putin is probably the most controversial (being generous) thing of the presidence of Trump, i dont believe the same but is clearly that China help democrats in that election, both are playing their games.   In Argentina the society is clearly divided, the people who are in the left side of the politics, peronist and kirchnerism are very against the goverment, propably the only genuine "rigth-wing" goverment since the recovery of the democracy in 1983. For me and the most part who are in the rigth wing: libertarians, nacionalist and conservatives, is probably the best goverment we see to this days, he made in his first year with a very few legislators in the congress some big and good changes:   1) In the economical: the inflation is only 3% per month since a more of 15% in the last months of the last year, Argentina has now fiscal, financial and comercial surplus-   2) Our country didnt have fighter planes and the goverment buy 24  American F16  -   3) He changes the electoral sistem for a "single ballot" sistem, we have an obsolete electoral sistem that doesnt change from the 19 century and specially, the peronist use for make fraud.   4) In my personal case, he really update the tax sistem for small/medium profesionals and traders.......and that save us to pay the 50% of our earnings to the state.   With a big expectations in the goverment, its better than i thinked before.
    • It could be better, or it could be much worse, for example, if the accusations that he has been accepting large amounts of money from Russia since 2017 are confirmed. Now let Harris win, which will end Trump's political career and I hope that in 4 years the Republicans will put up someone more predictable.     btw, how is this controversial president of Argentina doing?
    • More predictable is not always better, for me the goverment of Biden was one of the worst of the History of USA and i cant imagine what can happen with even a worse version like Harris is.   I hope, for the contrary, Trump be elected and "may be" the things changes for the better in the world.
    • I once read that Harris had never been to Europe before 2020, when she became vice president. On the other hand, her foreign policy will be more predictable, because it will be a continuation of Biden's policies. That is why I hope Harris wins, although the bookmakers are betting on Trump.
