Strange. Why do sports interfere with politics?
The IOC wants to punish Russia and not the atletes, Why don't they allow for or facilitate independent doping testing then and only rely on RUSADA?
Doesn't the flag and anthem belong to the people?
(I am getting down votes for having a different opinion, but the US flag doesn't belong just to the Whitehouse administration either, right?)
- drspacemonkey 7y ago> The IOC wants to punish Russia and not the atletes, Why don't they allow for or facilitate independent doping testing then. That's exactly what they're doing. The third sentence in the article: Russian athletes will be allowed to compete in major events only if they are not implicated in positive doping tests or if their data was not manipulated, according to the WADA ruling.

- user5994461 7y agoThe Olympics are a political event, not a sport event.
- dbtc 7y agoNo, it's also a sport event.
- user5994461 7y agoJust like a sponsored article is an ad, but it's also an article. The cover is pretty good :D
- driverdan 7y agoYou're being downvoted because it seems you didn't bother reading it. This is the strongest action they can take. Both Russia and the implicated athletes should be punished.
