Russia Banned from Winter Olympics

[Speaker to Animals]

Most of them are on drugs of some kind, Kath.

Ruusians just need to go gender bender and theyll be welcomed by the IOC

[Speaker to Animals]

So they can't whip a biologically male athlete right next to the Olympic swimming pool for wearing the female swimming outfit?

Olympics are bullshit. It gives citizens of shitty countries an inflated ego. Well, we have a high infant mortality rate, 5% literacy, and no potable water, but we won the bronze in sprinting. Yay!

You don't get to like the Olympics unless your country is a decent place to live.

What a gathering of nattering nabobs of negativism this forum has become of late. Is it because Trump is winning so much at the moment?
The Olympics has provided a lot of high quality entertainment over the years and will continue to do so. The winter Olympics is mostly for us northerners but it's fun all the same.
If you read up on what the Russians did in Sochi this should come as no surprise. It's impossible to keep sports completely clean but the least thing we can do is to punish those that are caught doing it. I have no problem with that.
I'm sure there are plenty wrong with what's banned and what's not. we could argue about that 'til the cows come home. Just stick with the rules we have for now and you can compete.
Norway got their best female cross-country skier and six times Olympic champion banned for using the wrong lip balm and they are all aboard with gender bending.

The Russian Olympic Committee has been banned from the 2018 Winter Olympics over an alleged state-sponsored doping scandal.

What a shame. It's one of the few places countries get to interact in a non political way.I'll glad the non cheating athletes get to compete. Do you think any of the quality athletes were allowed to opt out?

Olympics is all politics...it has been for decades.

[StCapps]

I still think this anti-doping thing is incredibly stupid.

That's because it is. For those who want a more level playing field, legalize and regulate PEDs, don't ban them.

Banning Russia hurts the Olympics more than it helps, but when it comes to the IOC, it's not about the sport, it's not about entertainment, it's not even about economics, it's all about politics with these faggots.

Nah. Tonya Harding was the high water mark. Entertainment value has plummeted since then.

That's because it's all about the politics, not economics, not entertainment, not sport. The IOC is as ass backwards as it gets, they cut of their own nose to spite their face, repeatedly.

Yeh. They knew how to "take a knee" back then. Much funnier.
