    Again?

    Anybody want to bet on how long it takes to get the ban lifted for "specific" Russian athletes given the Tokyo Olympics are just around the corner?

    Russian innovation. ROTFL

    The Russian drug manufacturers have been caught twice in the past 10 years which means that, even with the vast amounts of money the Russian Gov't is investing in doping up their non competitive athletes these clowns are still light years behind the scumbags at BALCO.

    If this keeps up they're going to have to hire Barry Bonds and Carl Lewis as technical advisers.

    Maybe we should cancel the Olympics and other such international sports. Have the Olympic Committees and such spend the money of taking care of the environment. This will help cut some of the carbon footprint from polluting the earth do to the planes and buses used in transporting athlete's all over the world.

    Oh it might put a temporary stop to all the doping that's going on.

    Has Trump tweeted yet about how "unfair!" this decision is to his great friends and benefactors?

    What’s interesting is that this doesn’t apply to the European Championship next year. Because according to WADA, it’s not a major competition.

    Still a good decision. Though one wonders how long it’ll take Russia to bribe its way back in.

    They tried to fake their way back in, after being given a third chance. That's why they get this 4 year (2 Olympics) ban.

    Yup.
    The information war will continue until morale improves.







    WASHINGTON - Russian efforts to weaken the West through a relentless campaign of information warfare may be starting to pay off, cracking a key bastion of the U.S. line of defense: the military.

    While most Americans still see Moscow as a key U.S. adversary, new polling suggests that view is changing, most notably among the households of military members.Pentagon Concerned Russia Cultivating Sympathy Among US Troops

    Yeah, they haven't fooled me. But they did fool the Democrats who all mocked Mitt Romney for saying that Russia was still a geopolitical threat in 2012. Guess the Russian psyops worked on the weak-minded Democrats just fine.
