The international community is witnessing “a dangerous recurrence of politics interfering in sport,” Russian President Vladimir Putin has said. In his Monday statement, the president pointed out that the allegations against Russian athletes are based on the testimony of a “single person with a scandalous reputation.” Such meddling aims “to turn sport into an instrument of geopolitical pressure” and “form a negative image of countries and people,” Putin’s statement published by the Kremlin said.

The Olympic movement, which has united people around the globe for over a century, “may now be on the brink of splitting,” the Russian leader warned. “So-called doping scandals” have been used to get in the way of fair sports, Putin said, adding that efforts are being made to apply sanctions related to the alleged use of forbidden substances even on "clean" athletes

GFY Putin. Obvious closet case.

Putin should try to look for solutions after admitting guilt, instead of crying. Russians are amazing at shooting up heroin and getting cirrhosis before 55. They could definitely rack up medals without cheating in those events.
Would be way more alpha to petition the IOC for those to be recognized than to be a beta cuck and cry like a baby.
I hope I am doing this right.

Politics should not interfere with damn near anything. But that is a different topic for a different board.

He's sort of right. Spanish athletics have been doping for years and their government tried to destroy evidence but nobody cares.
