Multinational Eurocentric twaddle. If the athletes are allowed to compete, how is the country banned? If athletes not attached to a country can compete, why just Russian athletes?
There are rules and there are rules, except when there aren't...
Only some athletes, a very small number, and they aren’t representing the country. No Russian flags, no Russian uniforms, no Russian anthem. Watching many NCAA teams get banned from bowl/ championship consideration because a coach who isn’t there anymore broke the rules for players that aren’t there anymore I’m OK with this. Russia is out, but these athletes who did nothing wrong shouldn’t be punished because Putin wanted to stack their numbers 4 years ago.
