World Athletics Council stymies Russian path to Olympics

As much as I dislike little politician Lord Coe, he and the World Athletics Council have taken the right move on keeping the ban on Russian and Belarus athletes.

If fascist Russia withdraws unconditionally from sovereign Ukraine PERHAPS there may be a small chance for them to compete in Paris in some form.

“The death and destruction we have seen in Ukraine over the past year, including the deaths of some 185 athletes, have only hardened my resolve on this matter,”

Coe is bang on.

Thats ridiculous !

> The Ukraine/ Russia conflict has absolutely nothing to do with the athletic achievement of athletes.

> It's unfair discrimination towards athletes !

How did I know the pro-fascist Russia supporters would react like this? LOL x 1000.

Mr Coe, a right wing extremist who was even too extreme for the Conservative party, does it again. He is highly political and is not fit to be in his position.

This better not affect Bach’s payday .!.

These is no political propaganda gift for despot Putin Russia than podium representation at global sporting events.

Putin's control over every aspect of collective Russian media broadcasting, publishing provides a powerful, unassailable political tool to further/justify his brutal illegal invasion/war in Ukraine.
