The IOC confirmed after an executive board meeting in Milan that it will follow the system it used at the Paris Games last year, allowing Russians to compete as Individual Neutral Athletes — using the French acronym AIN.

With uniforms that just happen to have the same color scheme as the Russian flag I'm sure. I guess ongoing war crimes aren't enough to completely disqualify a country for an organization as corrupt as the IOC

Virtually every US president in our lifetime could be convicted of war crimes. Hypocrisy at the highest of levels. The US has been funding and enabling the genocide in Gaza.

Should Ukraine be kicked out then? Maybe the USA as well for the airstrikes in Iran and Yemen?

Are there valid reasons for Ukraine to be kicked out? Ukraine is defending itself from invasion.

Israel was attacked first, and invaded, the side that attacked refuses to disarm as apart of a ceasefire. Similarly Ukraine was/is fighting on Russian soil despite being attacked first, even though the majority of the fighting is going on in the Ukranian borders.

But only one way to spell Israel.

They should boot Russia, Israel and the U.S. but they won’t, of course.

You are trying to spin that Russia and Ukraine are equally responsible and should have equal punishment...I mean its not worth a debate.

Other countries have obviously done some despicable things but there is no same/same here. Its all irrelevant anyway, Russia was already banned...what has changed to have them re-instated? If I had to guess I would assume $$$$ changed, or changed hands.
