Orangehair43 got a reaction from thiago_simoes in Russia-Ukraine Crisis Consequences in Sports
I will be surprised if the Russian and Belarusian teams are allowed into the Uk for the worlds in Liverpool later this year as things stand.

The BBC are now reporting it so it is 99% true.

So now what happens. Russia gaining a place by default means no World Cup. It’s as simple as that.

So POL and CZE are among the Western countries on Sundays, nice to know because I always forget on which days they are Eastern, Central and Western.

Poland will forfeit their match against Russia. They are writing to Sweden and Czech Republic to present a common position to Fifa. Surely Fifa can’t give Russia a bye. Unless they want other countries to withdraw from the World Cup in protest.

Apparently GB are close to closing down the relay programmes as a result of the stripped medal.

This event will be so different in 2026 when Russia is hopefully totally banned from those games.

Wouldn’t be surprised to no teams in 2026. The performances are not looking strong enough to secure much funding. Could well be a absence from all the sliding events if the cuts really bite.

This is why I can see major problems for the Olympics in the coming years. Trump has currently been pro - Olympics but if he becomes president again I can certainly see him threatening to ban countires from coming to LA 2028 for political reasons. Ditto all this makes it harder to get a 2030 bid. I can honestly see all three major bids withdrawing soon.

The Nordic Combined has its flaws but it has produced two excellent races.

The Eurosport commentators are full of telling us that Loginov is a doper. Disgraceful he is even allowed to compete. Shows how toothless the ioc and cas are. No wonder the Olympics is dying

Norway will simply say it was stolen by the Russians. Norwegian Tv is very hostile to Russia being at the games

Dick Pouhd calls for Russia be totally banned from the next three games. Anyone opposes it?

Russia is killing the sport. Dick Pound has to be listened to If they want the games to get viewers back.

Russia are stupid. Why got out so hard when everyone thinks you Doping. Do they want the IOC to have no option for a full ban for Russians for several games just to safe it’s reputation every where else

I think all three Russians will pull out of the ladies. The IOC will urge them to pull out as even then IOC can see how damaging this is. They could easily lose western sponsors over Doping.

Everytime a Russian Performs the Olympics is losing more and more viewers permanently. This could be the final straw for many. Many will simply refuse to watch Paris and Milan if Russians are there.
