Fucking IOC. Yeah guys, no one will put together that all of the medals won by the "independent Olympic team" are just Russians.

I completely forgot the winter olympics are coming up.

Time to kick the feet up, grab a 12 pack and watch hours of female curling.

"Compete under the Olympic flag" sounds like a great way to obtain just as many medals, give russia bragging rights that it would normally have, a reason to scoff the system and "show" their athletes don't cheat, a talking point about being targeted, plus the last laugh

Didnt they compete under some phony flag after the Soviet Union fell apart? Russian Federation or something along those lines.

I don't like this as a hockey fan, Russia needs to compete in Olympic hockey. Fuck the IOC
Yeah on one hand I say good riddance, but I can't help notice the hypocricy of the IOC.

But then again...

Listening to Brian Fogel, who produced Icarus on JRE #1019 was eye-opening for me, as was watching the documentary. It is clear that Russia has brought the doping game to a new level, but by far they are one of the many, many countries that have some sort of program for their athletes.
