So the Russian athletes aren’t banned. They’ll just have to compete as “neutral” athletes. WTF does that mean? Is that like Major League Baseball banning the Yankees from the World Series, but letting the Yankee players represent the American League in the World Series with Mets uniforms on?

True enough. If the athletes are part of the scam ban them altogether.
Also everyone is cheating and above all everyone uses legal performance-enhancing substances. Why some of these common for the either side arbitrary recognized as illegal time to time but not another is another question.

Basically means they can’t compete under the Russian flag. And when they win the gold, the Olympic anthem will play instead of the Russian anthem.
