The International Olympic Committee should expel the Russian Olympic Committee from any future competition. Hell, they keep cheating with performance-enhancing drugs. They can't play fair.

Their sports governing bodies are nakedly corrupt and cheats that make a mockery of justice democracy and fair play. They are a pariah nation that only offers tyranny to their citizens as their oligarchs steal them blind. They are a third world bully with oil and nukes to keep the regime in power, that's all.
