However, Lord Coe also said that the nation will remain banned “for the foreseeable future” because of the war in Ukraine.

The hypocrisy of those shouting for a ban of Russian athletes is truly incredible. We in the West are in no position to judge anyone, take your anti Russian glasses off before commenting, unbelievable
Ban all Nato countries, they're true war mongers, while Russia is defending its borders.
I'm Canadian, born, and raised but know we're the real terrorists of the world
Support Russian's troop's Heroes Viva mother Russia and Vladimir Putin Z is the huckleberry Russian troop's Heroes 🇲🇽🐓🐓🇲🇽🐓🇲🇽🐓🇲🇽🐓🇲🇽🐓🐓🇲🇽🐓🇲🇽🐓🇲🇽🐓🇲🇽🐓🇷🇺🐻🇷🇺🐻🇷🇺🐻🇷🇺🇷🇺🐻🇷🇺🐻🇷🇺🐻🇷🇺🇷🇺🐻🇷🇺🐻💯🇧🇷💯🇧🇷💯🇧🇷💯🇧🇷💯🇧🇷💯💯🇧🇷💯🚀🎯🚀🎯🚀🎯🚀🚀🎯🚀🎯🚀💤💤💤💤💤💤💤😎😎😎😎😎🐓🐓🐓🐓🐓🐓🐓🐓🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺
Some more cancel culture. Soon half the world won't attend international sport events.
racist policy since ukraine committed genocide
They should join Asian competitions. That’s where they belong anyhow.
About time
Russia’s gold medals are in war crimes & cheating
💩 🏅 🇷🇺
The prostitution of the sport, sport and politic is a wrong combination.
russia continues to use doping and they lift the suspension??? and then they brutally attack Ukraine, they should be back on the ban list.
Stupidity at its best 😂
Russia has been escalating the war Russia started in 2014, good to ban Russia.
russia doesn't belong with the rest of the world with their war crimes and their constant cheating and doping
Russia athletes should be banned from all sports competitions until
1. Complete withdrawal of Russian troops from all occupied land.
2. Amount and schedule of reparations agreed to be paid by Russia.
3. All war criminals surrendered to The Hague.
4. Russian military is severely degraded to the point they could never I invade a sovereign country.
5. Russia agrees to quit cheating in international competition.
Putin alone created this situation.
Weaponization of sports. These people in the west are really sick.
Well at least we know for a fact they won't be juicing.
It is evident that if Putin succeeds in Ukraine, he will likely carry out similar wars in other nations. Russian officials claim that their actions are intended to eliminate the Ukrainian infrastructure.

Terrorists have no place in games of this magnitude. Let them have their own games and participate in them. No one wants to deal with them.
Now there will be a bunch of Russian bots in the comments who will write that Russia should participate in the Olympics, but I'm sure that adequate people understand that Russians have no place in the civilized world. These terrorists need to be isolated!
The world should make every effort to make sure that Russia loses and can never again threaten other countries and kill another country's people
I'm glad that they followed a voice of reason and prohibited russians and belarussians to participate. I sure hope that they will do the same about Olympics in 2024. Because terrorist states should not have a place in the civilized world. They should be isolated from international events and competitions. Otherwise, just like it happened before, russians will use these platforms for the benefit of their propaganda. We cannot allow that to happen.
Team Woke and its drag groomers wont have to compete at all since real athletes wont be there..just hand out the medals and have a pride parade for yourselves…
I think this is really sick. Athletes are not politicians or generals and don’t necessarily carry any opinion on the matter. This is done only so we can feel superior. No one banned American athletes after the invasion of Iraq.
How can we still talk about Russian participation into Olympics ? Will it be normal when Russian athletes run at the competition while their soldiers kill civilian in Ukraine ?
Remove these imperial Westerners from all international forums ,, they were the plague and are the plague
I believe that the participation of Russians in any competition should not even be discussed. Russia needs to be completely isolated while they commit all these atrocities and their war criminals are still not punished
RUSSIA should never be allowed to play at any GAMES ever again glory to Ukraine
RUSSIA should not be in any games for a long time or banned period they committed war crimes in Ukraine and invaded country that didn't do anything to them
After the blitzkrieg in Russia failed, everything went wrong, and failures began everywhere: at the front, in the economy, etc.
Ukraine is fighting for the whole world against the terrorist tyrant Russia, and therefore, assistance to Ukraine should be increased so that Putin's regime is overthrown
Putin has no chance of winning, as good always triumphs over evil
There is no place for terrorists on this planet, so Ukraine will do everything to protect the whole world from such evil as Russia
Everybody should just refuse to play against Russia even if the war ended today. They need to be isolated and left out from every single event worldwide
Disgusting country. Hopefully this reduces the CHEATING in international sport.
Good
Why wasn't the USA banned when it invaded Iraq ?
