Especially now when athletes are tested much more thoroughly than ever before. Russians are under a microscope and if they are doping they will get caught. Let the clean athletes compete for their nation and ban those who do doping. Stop this political nonsense in sports. I my post, I did not advocate banning Russia, just pointed out that this particular sanction is useless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The "for their nation" part is the problem. Russia does not deserve their country to be recognized at the Olympics and having Russia in the name of the team is a tiny slap on the wrist.

Oh my, how many years we have to chew this. The only people who care about this are agenda politicians, media moralists and pretentious bookworms. You can try to hide it behind 5 walls and 10 doors, but in the end Russia is Russia and this whole thing has been a failed circus from the beginning.

I think Russia will set a record for their most medals ever. Clearly they have no intention to stop their doping program. The best would be to just exclude all athletes who are stationed in Russia. Attachment is the great fabricator of illusions; reality can be obtained only by someone who is detached. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am guessing commentators everywhere call them Russians anyway, yes. Except for probably those English Eurosport commentators who read all their things from their little fact sheets I am 99% sure they go with "Russian Olympic Committee athletes" or something 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!
