There is some confusion regarding the "Race to Paris" Ranking published by BWF as it is not counting Sudirman Cup. It is odd that they are missing it. Regarding host quota, France is guaranteed a place each in MS and WS.

Yesterday, Imran Khan, ex-PM of Pakistan was arrested. Since then, his supporters have indulged in arson and rioting in quite a few places. They even stormed GHQ in Rawalpindi. Expecting Army reprisal to be brutal. Biggest questions are will Asim Munir impose martial law and take direct control or allow Shehbaz Sharif to continue as PM and will Imran survive this (not only politically but literally as well)? There is a very small possibility that Imran does have enough support both nationally and in overseas Pakistani community to force Army to negotiation table. Interestingly, in this power play, the ruling government has no role.

I fully agree that Press Freedom in India (161) is similar to Belarus (157), Russia (164), Turkey (165), Yemen (168) and Saudi Arabia (170). And situation is much better in Belarus (157), Pakistan (150), Libya (149) and Sudan (148). And I wish our government can take pointers on how to improve the ranking score from Afghanistan who improved their score from 38.27 to 39.75.

As I had suspected. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-india-64564861

Regarding clean athletes: Though the decision to allow certain athletes has been controversial from beginning, it was more or less a settled question. So, if IOC wants to ban even those athletes who were allowed in previous athletes, it needs new reason. Ukraine war, new findings in state sponsored doping, or something else. Regarding state sponsored doping: The way I see it the difference between doping and state sponsored doping is the role of national coaches and federations. Level 1: Doping happens inspite of NFs. NFs fail to properly educate, find and prosecute the dopers. Level 2: NFs turn a blind eye to doping. Level 3: NFs encourage/take part in doping. Personally, I think majority of NFs are in mix of level 1 and level 2 and only a small portion of them are in level 3. IOC's case for banning Russia was that it is among the few who were in Level 3. Personally speaking, I think more and more NFs need to move from Level 2 to Level 1 to make a big dent in doping. P.S.: As far as India is concerned, I think almost all federations would be placed in Level 2. Situation is improving but still a lot of work needs to be done.

But if IOC wants to continue ban on Russia for doping, it should continue to allow "Clean athletes" to compete under IOC flag. And what about Belarus?

You see this is the issue. For you Russia is the bad guy. For India, Pakistan is the bad guy. For Pakistan, India is the bad guy. For Iran, Israel is the bad guy. For Taiwan, China is the bad guy. I don't think not mixing politics and sports is possible. There should be consequences for one's actions. One cannot force Ukrainian athletes to compete against Russians. But, the same respect should be given to others as well.

IOC is being accused of being an echo chamber but aren't you guys also in an echo chamber if you think that whole world wants to ban Russia/Belarus? For years, we have been fed this bullshit of "Don't mix politics with sports" and now that Russia has invaded Ukraine, it is ok to mix politics with sports? Would you all, who are asking for ban on Russians, be ok if tomorrow India bans Pakistani athletes from a major tournament hosted by India?

An area already facing so many problems.

Good: The crackdown. Bad: So many child marriages took place in the first place. Ugly: Knowledge that this legitimate action would be used to attack government.
