The IBA has banned Ukraine’s federation and all their boxers

 

Boxing, one of my favourite Olympic sports, is done 

 

 

Wait what, what did they do? :facepalm: 

 

Edit: IBA's president is Russia's Umar Kremlev, right.

At that point they might as well compete in the refugee team because anything more than the neutral "I want peace" statement would result in them being essentially exiled or jailed.

Yeah, I can not even imagine how any Russian athlete would compete in the Olympics as long as Putin will keep to rules Russia as the new Mordor.

It would almost certainly be Russian athletes that just don't reside in Russia.

Of course if Russian sportspeople say they do not support the Ukraine war it might be wise for them to avoid 10th floor windows in case they should "accidently" fall from them...
