Should Russia be banned from the Olympics?

Question

For anyone who doesn’t know, it’s being decided on December 4th of Russia will be allowed to compete in the Winter Olympics after finding evidence that a chemist was making sports enhancing drugs. At least that’s what I read, please feel free to correct me.

Answer

I think what OP didn't include was that this chemist (if I understand it correctly) was actually sponsored by the Russian government for the purpose of making these drugs for the athletes. So yea. If I'm correct, they should be suspended for at least a cycle.

Answer

Just because someone in russia is making then doesnt equate to the competitor taking any

Answer

And giving it to all the athletes? Seems unfair to punish everyone and not just the athletes that knowingly took the stuff

Answer

No. If I cannot see any of the Russian gymnasts, namely Aliya Mustafina, I will be PISSED.

Answer

Sure let them back in, they’ll likely continue to cheat and at that point we can ban them FOREVER

...

Answer

In all the sports I watch the Russian competitors are just, wild. Like they’re amazing, and incredibly good at what they do, but it’s often made me question if there was something like that going on, since they’re notoriously known for almost being too good to be true. Not sure they, wouldn’t it make more sense to do it on an individual basis? It’s not to say that all Russian athletes are involved in that.

Answer

now a days everyone takes drugs or some kind of enhancement lol.. is it just because it's Russia or would people feel the same way if it was a different country

Answer

whatever a chemist did shouldn't have any impact on the location, the economy boost the olympics provides is a benefit for the country. They shouldn't be punished for 1 persons actions.
