Russian fans proudly flying flags, but athletes can't
GANGNEUNG, South Korea
Ilya Kovalchuk has a rule for any fans wanting an Olympic selfie — put the Russian flag away.
The forward for the "Olympic Athletes from Russia" hockey team is worried about breaking International Olympic Committee sanctions imposed on Russia after its Sochi doping scandal. Athletes compete in neutral uniforms and have to sign a document saying they won't protest the ruling that turned Team Russia into OAR.
"We won't chase (fans) away" if they're carrying Russian flags, Kovalchuk said Tuesday. "If there's an IOC rule then we'll talk to them, explain it and take a photograph without the flag."

At the same time the World Anti-Doping Agency announced changes to its governance structure, the agency's former lead investigator wrote an op-ed piece arguing its leaders should be replaced, and said the decision to reinstate Russia's suspended anti-doping agency came via a "cowardly" process that betrayed clean athletes.

Show me a professional athlete in America that makes millions of dollars and I'll show you somebody using outright illegal substances or at the very least "experimental" substances that haven't yet been deemed illegal. Period.
I'm not defending Russia. I'm just saying you can't put that shit back in the horse is all.

Oh... and the simple solution is this.
Tune out.
They'll stop doing it when they realize nobody watches or gives a shit anymore.
I realize you're talking Olympics and I'm talking professional sports in America which is essentially an apples to oranges comparison for most things, but Money is the universal language.
If everybody keeps tuning in, the message we're sending is that we're perfectly okay with it.
Everybody should have stopped watching sports when they started making multi-million dollar salaries for playing games back in the 90's.
Oh...
And when it comes to the non-professional Olympics, it's hardly Russia that's the only one doing it. They need to crack down hard and treat everyone fairly when testing. It needs to be an open and public process that is free from any bias and hypocrisy whatsoever.
USA ain't innocent.
Not drug related, but a prime example of this was absolutely ridiculous when the rules were changed for RATINGS and MONEY to allow professional US basketball players form the Dream Team in Olympic basketball.
I found it quite poetic when 8 years later the 2004 not-so-Dream-Team full of narcissistic idiots got their asses handed to them by almost 20 points by Puerto Rico, and even funnier when they went on to lose two more games to Lithuania and Argentina and finish with the bronze medal.
Whenever one of the little know-it-all kiddies want to go on about how LeBron was the best basketball player that ever was, I just tell them that Michael Jordan never lost a game 90-94 against a bunch of Lithuanian amateurs.
Do Right, Be Right. :)

It looks like the 'Russia doping scandal' was fake news all along.
In 2018
Quote:Of the remaining, 3 had their appeals scheduled at a different time, as per the article. The bans were lifted due to 'insufficient evidence'. In addition, the Russian Olympic Committee was reinstated.
Two separate panels of the Court of Arbitration for Sport have fully or partially struck down International Olympic Committee sanctions for 39 (of 43) Russian athletes in the Sochi Olympics.

Quote:Sadly for the IOC, in its first decision, the Swiss Supreme Court upheld the CAS ruling which overturned the IOC's actions.
LAUSANNE, Switzerland (AP) — The International Olympic Committee will appeal to Switzerland's supreme court against rulings which cleared some Russian athletes of doping sanctions from the Sochi Games.

No “Surprise”: The first IOC Appeal against a CAS Award is dismissed by the Swiss Federal Tribunal http://www.swissarbitrationdecisions.com/atf-4a-382-2018
Quote:
The judgement is far more interesting for its factual background than for its legal findings; it puts an end to highly publicized legal battle between Alexander Legkov (and several other Russian athletes) and the IOC, which lies at the heart of the so-called “Russian doping scandal”.
And if democrats don't do anything different, how are they any better?

The last time WADDLE tried this, the Russians took it to the specified arbitrations court in Switzerland - and won.
That's why WADDLE has to do this all over again.
And they'll lose in court all over again.
But you won't see THAT bannered all over the headlines - just like you didn't see it bannered all over the headlines the last time.
Swiss Court of Appeals overturns ban on 28 of 39 Russians. '28 cleared Russians'
The IOC challenges all the cases and appeals the decision on the basis of jurisdiction.
And LOSES the first appeal. I guess that means the Swiss Courts have essentially upheld all the other reinstatements, because the Swiss courts did have the jurisdiction to reinstate the athletes.
