I am happy the athletes were not banned outright as, of course, many did not dope.
… a Court of Arbitration for Sport ruling from December which barred Russia’s name, flag, anthem and other national symbols in a package of sanctions over what it deemed Russia’s failure to turn over accurate data from the Moscow drug-testing laboratory.

Dutch coaches for Tokyo
Head Coach: Bram van Bokhoven
Assistant: José van der Veen
Assistant: Aimee Boorman
Bram van Bokhoven is the Men’s National Coach, who accepted the WAG position on an interim basis.

If they needed to bring in a neutral, positive coach — Aimee Boorman is a good choice. It sends a message.
