and
LAUSANNE, Switzerland — Russia’s Olympic team has been barred from the 2018 Winter Games in Pyeongchang, South Korea. The country’s government officials are forbidden to attend, its flag will not be displayed at the opening ceremony and its anthem will not sound. Any athletes from Russia who receive special dispensation to compete will do so as individuals wearing a neutral uniform, and the official record books will forever show that Russia won zero medals...
The ruling cemented that the nation was guilty of executing an extensive state-backed doping program. The scheme was rivaled perhaps only by the notorious program conducted by East Germany throughout the 1960s, ’70s and ’80s...

Breaking into
their lab to manipulate your athletes’ samples never goes over well when you’re caught.

BTW, the best news out of this is that Ovie won't miss any time with the Caps.

I'd be okay swapping 3 and 4.

Baby steps. If you actually offered me that right now, I'd take it in a heartbeat.

Movie/documentary on Netflix called "Icarus" covered this whole ordeal in real time quite well. Basically the Russian in charge of their doping program flipped and provided tons of evidence...then had to run for his life and is now in hiding...documentary had a camera on the Russian while he was explaining that other head Russian people in the program "died of natural causes". Pretty intense stuff, and definitely one of the best Netflix docs I have seen to date.
Bryan Fogel (director) also did an interview on the JRE podcast not too long ago that is available on Youtube. Worth a listen too.
Curious how Putin will lash out because of this...i.e. which poor shitty baltic/black sea state is going to get skull fucked?

That guy has about the same chance of committing suicide as a Hilary staffer informant...
