Oh mine is definitely not going to be a problem neither :d It's just an administrative thing, the system isn't open yet or something, but that'll be solved within a few weeks :p 

I have it in my contract, i am unavailable during olympics. :cool:

“The view of the overwhelming majority of athletes is not to punish fellow athletes for the actions of their government,” this seems like a way more relavant point honestly.

Nah, just another IOC talking point. There isn’t much impetus for athletes to fully speak their opinions on the matter. NFs, IFs, and the IOC hold way too much power over them and their opportunities to compete for most of them to want to risk doing anything but echoing the IOC position on an issue.

 

Of course, this could truthfully be the opinion of most athletes, but it is rather difficult to ascertain that for certain.

OK, let's clarify today's facts.

 

Who made this decision today? What kind of board? Is it just a recommendation or is it biding?

 

Btw, they knew it's not good decision, that's why they spread the news on Friday afternoon, an oldschool trick...

The ioc  ,and it seems to have been a final decision
