Ban Russia from the 2016 Olympics!! Time to make a stand!!

good idea.

With so much idiocy such as yours put on display here, all posters who live in their parens' basements should be banned from posting.

Now do you see why your premise is only garnering 1/10?

You're right. What we are currently doing is obviously working. Let's just keep the government supported doping entities in place. Why would we ever punish a country that excepts bribes, provides drugs to the athletes, and continues to make a joke of TnF?

The doping issue in Russia isn't an athlete problem, it's a federation problem that's rotten and the top and it trickles down to the athletes. Banning them from the 2016 Olympics will be a kick in the butt that they need.

For living in my moms basement, I'm surprised I'm so much smarter than you.

Is turkey still allowed at the Olympics?

Or has it been banned

BUMP!! Add a few more athletes to the list... At what point will the world take a stand and Ban Russia from competing. This is obviously government ran doping and needs to be dealt with...

No, it wasn't obvious the government was doing anything. You very likely have zero clue how the WADA process actually works.

What was obvious was that the anti-doping process is a joke. Just pay an IAAF official a bribe and you never test positive. You can even pay someone to have your positive sample ID switched to a clean one, at the lab.

How about Jamaica testing athletes to never test positive outside the country? You are telling me USATF athletes are clean?

The IOC likes the doping. The system is designed to permit it. Just be sure to knock down some WR in front of the camera at the games.

I know, why don't we ban all thee major offending countries? Lets get rid of Turkey and the US while we're at it?

I don't think you guys understand, the rest of the world looks at the US the same as Russia, Turkey et al. Perhaps they haven't had as many positive tests as the Russia this past year, but the states have a diseased history as one of sports dirtiest culprits. We look at the states like you look at Russia.

I like how the OP makes reference to getting out of positive tests while the US is notorious for corruption like that.

My 2.5...
