They should just be banned entirely. How many doping scandals does it take? The presence of their athletes is all Russia cares about. They’ll Photoshop in some flags and parade it around state TV.
I don’t think that’s fair to the athletes. They have all worked super hard to make it to the olympics and they shouldn’t be banned because of their birthplace.
They are not allowed to represent their birthplace because the birthplace actively financing and supporting systematic doping.
That is not the same as they are being banned.
I have no understanding for why you want to represent that.
I don’t think it’s fair to the other athletes who also worked super hard to make it to the Olympics. It’s not a prestigious competition if it’s full of cheaters.
Doesn’t Russia already perform under neutral flags because of the doping?

All countries use doping, some are better to hide it.
We should also ban Russian cats from Cat Beauty Pageants while we’re at it because fuck them cats.
