Lappartient sees the presidency of the IOC as a rung on the ladder towards being President of France

Wouldn't be surprised :d He has even stated clearly he does these jobs for one thing: power. At least he doesn't hide behind "I want to make things better" or something :p 

If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated! Full story and how to help can be found here!

"once it returns to compliance" is a vague statement that means nothing. I don't think anyone, other than people scoring political points was suggesting Russia should be banned forever.

Russia should be banned for 24 years because of the state doping affair between 2008 and 2014 :bones:

 

then, they should be seriously investigated for what they did in the following years

 

and only once they have paid the prize for their cheating (a true prize, I mean...not that farce of the no name/no symbol/no anthem "punishment"), they could return to action in the world of international sport :pope:

"once it returns to compliance" would mean it renounces its claim to Crimea...

Can't see that happening any time soon.

I doubt that.  It will mean only a doping rubber stamp and a promise not to swear at the ice skating moppets in public,

It’s just a great weasel word.

 

We all want :RUS to come back to International sport "when they are in compliance". But there are very differing opinions on what that means.

Remember that Russia's IOC suspension was for a "breach of the Olympic Charter because it violated the territorial integrity of the NOC of Ukraine" not for any other reason. Restoring Russia without that changing would have huge repercussions for other nations.

The olympic charter is toilet paper. Russia was suspended because otherwise western sponsor companies would pull out and some big countries would've boycotted Paris. Money is the only thing that matters to IOC.

A ceasefire agreement, no matter what it ends up looking like would likely be enough for the IOC to bring Russia and Belarus back and not wear egg on their face.

 

Until then, we'll likely have a continuing participation of neutral athletes.

    • Portugal   (WC title holder and European champions) lost 1-2 with   (4th in 2021; lost SF at penalties with Portugal)
    • You mean the rally when Rylov and Bolshunov were there, for example?
    • I don't think it's about the Crimea issue. It goes back to 2014, and then Russia started normally. At that time, the problem was organized doping. Another 3-4 years of a total ban for Russia and the sport there will completely collapse. Most of the current stars will either end their careers or go to other countries to compete (for now this think isn`t on a mass scale but I think that soon there will be a movement. For now, there is still waiting). 
    • The Italian finally got up and finished the race. Today, the first junior gold for Italy since Ulissi in 2006-2007. Mark Lorenzo Finn won. In recent years, we have had gold medals in the men's U23 category: Battistella in 2019 and Baroncini in 2021. So far, however, these competitors havn`t met expectations. In my opinion, if we don`t have at least 1 Italian group at the WT level, it will be difficult to reach the results beginning of the 21st century. In 2005, when the Pro Tour (now World Tour) was created, Italy had 4 groups in this series: Lampre, Liquigas, Domina Vacanze and Fassa Bortolo. And yet we had very strong groups before: Mapei, Saeco, Mercatone Uno etc. Now we don`t have one

    • Very bad news from the Junior Women's today.  I noticed also there was an Italian from the first chasing group who fell about 100m from the line and was not getting up.     Swiss cyclist Muriel Furrer is in a "very critical" condition after suffering a serious head injury at the Road and Para-cycling World Championships.   The 18-year-old crashed during the junior road race - authorities say they are "extremely concerned" about her condition.     Road Worlds: Swiss cyclist Muriel Furrer 'very critical' after crash - BBC Sport
