should russia be banned?id say no,unless its to be made an example of.yes there was a lot of systematic doping going on,but are they any worse than usa,or a lot of other countries?im not so sure they are.maybe blood doping and epo use is worse in russia,than anywhere else,but drugs in the sprints and field events would be no worse.if russia is to be banned,why not ban ukraine and belarus,as well?they have an appalling record,when it comes to drugs,and positive tests,so its clear very widespread drug taking goes on in those two countries,too.
