Do you actually think that the Russian's will change the laws because of pressure from a company like Visa? Or will they laugh, say they already have the money and hang up the phone.
Any company that tries to remove themselves from the Olympics will find themselves sue'd 6 ways from sunset for breaking a contract anyways.
You could argue that an American boycott would be sufficient pressure, but it would do more to hurt the Olympic movement then the Russians.
They just don't care, they might have been our friends for a short period of time after the wall fell, but they sure ain't our friends now.
