This will be followed by a threat to build a wall around Alaska to keep those "cheating Russians" out of the country.:headbanger:

Very good documentary. Not sure why, outside the fact that Russia is now a partisan issue, anyone would think this was anything controversial.
Clean Russian athletes (i.e. those not previously implicated in doping) will compete under the Olympic flag. The sanctions for what was a state sponsored doping program would be something everyone here would have cheered a few years ago.
Now it’s slugline includes a sad face.

individuals will be allowed to compete as neutral competitors under the IOF flag (if they pass drug tests)

Nikki Haley saying USA is considering not allowing Americans to go because so close to North Korea and are concerned over safety.
That should be the decision of the team, not some Swamp fox.
