It looks like Ivan Kulyak decided to affix a Russian Army symbol for an Awards ceremony in Doha.

As much as I’m sympathetic for those Russians who only want PEACE with Ukraine, this is why Russia must be banned until Putin withdraws.
The list of Putin supporters grows shorter each day.
Civilians in Ukraine are being killed by Russian bombs. We have to stand with Ukraine in every non-violent way possible.

“Athletes from Russia and Belarus together with their support staff have already been punished and excluded from all international competitions.

The EC took into account the latest recommendations from the International Olympic Committee (IOC), the stance of the FIG Athletes’ Commission and the deep concerns and positions expressed by many national Gymnastics federations, and decided that:
Russian and Belarusian athletes and officials, including judges, are not allowed to take part in FIG competitions or FIG-sanctioned competitions from 7 March 2022 until further notice.
FIG adopts further measures against Russia and Belarus
World Cup Doha will be the last meet.
Of course most of the worldly Russian coaches and competitors are not supporting their government. But all non-military pressure must be put on Putin.
The US National Team was named this past Wednesday and 47% of the team is made up of current or future Stanford gymnasts. The Cardinal also added two names to the Senior Development Team. This is arguably the most talented roster ever featured in NCAA Gymnastics …
