IOC recommends upholding ban of Russia through Winter Games

Wait, a member of their curling team doped? Why would a curler need to dope, its just pushing rocks an sweeping.

How about making them independent competitors, ie no team competitions? That's if they're till not doping.

How about scrapping the games altogether? ... They are just a money wasting event, Australia is still paying off the 2000 games.

The original Olympians are rolling in their dust. This has been by far the worst Olympics ever. I don't know about most out there but if a team is banned, then the entire team is banned and there should be no OAR period. Since when did the term "banned" change meaning? I certainly did not get the memo or most current dictionary. Yes, a member of the OAR was found to be doped duh..what a joke...On a serious note, these games should just be retired.  It has no flare and only costs additional burdons to other country's and mostly the host of the games. The glitter of the games has long been gone and in decline for quite some time.

I'm glad they allowed OAR though, we got to witness an incredible women's figure skating competition.

He was sabotaged. It's the only thing that makes sense.

Yeah, it’s not like an athlete from Russia would ever dope.

@Educator

To be fair, the former captain of the British women’s team was asked this very question by the BBC recently, and she couldn’t come up with a real reason for doping. She just found it funny....

Good on IOC for not reinstating this doping nation. They are all dopers and none of them should have been allowed to compete in the first place. Thankfully this mistake will not be made again and Russia will be banned indefinitely
