If the law regarding gay tourists is not suspended durring the Olympics then it should be up to the sponsors to boycott. Athletes boycotting will do nothing. Money talks and the IOC is one of the most money driven and corrupt organizations in the world. You start pulling money, they start paying attention.

Boycotting to change the rules indefinately is circumventing democracy (well whatever Russians figure is democracy) and I wouldnt want any other country to try tactics like that to circumvent our own democracy.

The adoption rules and anything else are separate and up to Russia to decide what they think is best for Russians. It would be no different than if Dubai hosted something like tis and didnt suspend certain laws for the time the even is being held. What happens after the event isnt of anyones concerns other than Russians and the crazy tourists who would choose to visit. IMO
