    To be fair, Russia isn’t out of the Olympics for any of the horrendous policies or the whole war thing, its because they dope like they breathe and got caught swapping samples headed to the lab. Israel hasn’t tried any of that stuff (yet), so they’re still A-OK 🙄

      The commentators have repeatedly said Russia and Belarus are both banned this year due to the invasion of Ukraine.

      Just, They dope like crazy but I guess in Olympic speak that just means they can’t fly the Russian flag.
