Russians in Rio
If Russian Gymnastics sports had been disallowed to compete the Olympics, that is all we’d be talking about. Selfishly, I’m happy Aliya is competing.

Kohei on the IOC doping decision
“It’s absolutely wrong to ban athletes who have not broken the rules. It (this decision) is good,” said Uchimura, a six-times world all-around champion.
“Those who dope can’t complain even if they get banned for life,” the 27-year-old Japanese told the Kyodo news agency.
You can argue that all Russian athletes should be banned. Including gymnasts. Many are taking that position. I respect the argument.
Russian sport is corrupt and deserves sanction up to but not including disallowing athletes and coaches not proven personally guilty. That’s my opinion.
